Past exams

Are there any other places you can find past exams other than the library page on the Monash website? I ask because I have not been able to find any past exams for some of my commerce subjects like AFC1000 and ECC1000. Did these exams have a different unit code last year or are there just no past exams available?

Not all unit coordinators upload their exams to the past exams database.
Sometimes the lecturer will upload practice questions or past exams on Blackboard closer to exam date.
Others give you a run down of topics to be covered on the exam either throughout the semester or during revision lectures.
Sometimes (if you're really unlucky), you get nothing at all to go by, except by paying attention in lectures to what the lecturer seems to emphasise - they put whatever they think is most important on the exam.

If Kathy's still lecturing ECC1000 and you've been attending lectures, you should pretty much know everything that's gonna be on the exam by the end of semester... she gets carried away in her hint-giving.

If John Gerrand is still unit coordinator for AFC1000, then there's probably gonna be a corporate governance theory Q on there...

Neither have a new unit code.
However, AFC1000 is a relatively new unit... I was in the first AFC1000 cohort in Sem1 2009.

Umm, when I did it there were 12 multi-choice and 8 longer response Qs.
The mark allocation was fairly evenly distributed between financial accounting, management and finance.
However, finance was worth a few more marks, mostly because it wasn't covered in mid-sem or the assignment.

It's management accounting.

Management is a whole other unit.
First year management is compulsory, and it's as boring as all shit.

this is y i love doing BEc not BComm :)
seriously, if any VNers out there (still in yr12 etc) want to do a single BComm majoring in either economics and/or econometrics just do BEc and skip the tedious 1st year comm core units

For anyone interested, they have put up part B of the 2009 AFC1000 exam with solutions. Half the questions are basically just the problems from the unit guide anyway....

Also would people be interested in forming an AFC1000 study group in preparation for the exam?
