[UoM] 2018 Semester 1 Results Thread

Principles of Finance and introductory Microeco results are out! THESE RESULTS ARE SO WEIRDDD
I assume these scores are scaled, because getting 99 while dropping a midsem mark, losing assignment marks and leaving parts of questions blank on the final is otherwise impossible....
edit1: Either way, not complaining! Just happy I broke H1 since this semester has honestly been a 'disaster'
edit2: Everyone doing Finance was given 15 extra marks in the exam so I guess after this adjustment I got over 100% for the Final exam.

I've had two subjects change after release LOL

Wow no way...I did PoF in sem 1 last year, and Asjeet gave us 6 extra exam marks (there was a printing exclusion with the very last question, which was worth 8 marks, and the edit was announced by speakerphone with 15 min left). I've also heard that in sem 2 last year, Howard Chan gave students 10 extra exam marks (he just made the subject damn harder).
Seems like the exam must have been quite difficult this sem...?

Not really. I found the exam even easier than Micro and I finished with half an hour to go. The multichoice was a real killer I think since probably most of them gave you 4 statements and asked which ones were correct or wrong, and some of the statements given were tricky (but reasonable), so you would get wrong the entire question if you knew whether 3/4 of the statements were true/false but didn't understand one of the statements.
The final question probably also threw people off since you had to identify errors in someone's NPV calculation, but wrong errors apparently would make you LOSE marks, and that was worth 16 marks. I think the only question I had real trouble with was the 'Frontier Curve' question where you just had to label its elements on the diagram, but I didn't study that slide since I didn't expect this to be on the exam.
EDIT: Overall, I do think the extra 15 marks was excessive (maybe weak cohort?) but I'm not complaining, it's the only reason why my WAM is H1!

Nice - I finished mine with around half an hour to go as well (I spent a fair amount of time on the last question of my paper).
Same, I found PoF way easier than micro. Now looking back, I have no idea how I managed to be so lost in drawing simple supply/demand diagrams LOL (somehow I scraped H1 in intro micro tho). Heads up - 2nd-year micro is really hard, and it's legit almost all maths. 2nd-year finance - FNCE20005 CFDM - is also much harder, with way dodgier MCQs (i.e. D = more than one of the above is correct, E = none of the above). I think every subject in 2nd-year is twice as hard as their 1st-year prereqs...Econometrics 1 is probably at least 3x harder than QM1 btw (and don't get me started on comparing BLAW10001 PBL with BLAW20001 Corp Law).
Ahhh the frontier curve...10-mark question right? Yeah we were also required to do the same thing as you guys. I actually asked my friend to open the CAPM lecture slides on his phone, and checked the diagram 15 minutes before the exam started...worked a wonder ahaha
LOOOL then again, unimelb did lower the ATAR cutoff for commerce to 93 eek...PoF also pushed my WAM way up haha
