Okay,
1) Monash gives Ns, not Fs.
2) You're not F for Fked... I don't know a lot about you, but I know enough to be sure of that.
3) If anyone's F for Fked, it's me :)
Guess who's had next to no sleep?
Venture further, and guess who also accepted a friend's offering of V energy drink.
Guess who also gets ridiculously affected by caffeine, given the fact that she rarely even drinks soft drink?
Never in my life have I drunk a full cup of coffee, and I can still count the total number of energy drinks I've ever drunk on one hand.
Pro: I didn't fall asleep.
Con: So fking jittery my hands were shaking and I couldn't calm myself to think properly.
Also... probably should have studied... in my defence, I really haven't been well all semester... made it kind of hard.
Exam was do-able... I just sucked... hopefully my good results throughout semester will balance out with my very shit exam performance for a D... I don't like Cs... I only have one on my transcript and I would like for it to stay that way.
Anywayz... back to my point... I've never met anyone who got 100% for *any* commerce subject... don't fret over a couple of marks... it was bound to happen.

unfortunately for me, it isn't just about a 'couple of marks' but entire questions (some worth as much as 20 marks) I couldn't do =[
I don't understand how I forget some things in an exam. I seriously just cannot think in an exam, if I don't remember it in the moment I have no chance of remembering it through the exam.
I mean I forgot what a balance sheet looked like in this exam. I wrote up at least 10 in preparation. I completely blanked on absorption costing despite focussing on costing significantly in swotvac and spending the evening before the exam intensely studying it to make sure it stuck. I completely got the returns formula wrong when I had to use that formula over a hundred times for my group assignment. I'm seriously thinking studying has an adverse effect on my exam performance....
Also my tutor's 'exam revision' class where he would supposedly go through types of questions that would appear on the exam was completely useless - nothing even remotely similar to his questions came up on the exam...
Epic wtf... no longer considering majoring in accounting considering 2nd year is suppose to be even harder....

Same in my case. I was thinking "this exam is alot easier then the practice exams" whilst i was doing the finance Q's. But then i got owned in the B/S Q and the last one. I think most ppl started with the Q4. Thankgod i managed to remember the P/E,EPS and risk/return formulae - i know some ppl who said "wtf are those?"
Akirus:
I made shit up for P/E/EPS and risk/return =/
I just figured, price/earning * earning/share = price/share.
What was risk/return? Dividends in a year divided by (discount - growth)?

maybe it's just accounting, did u do accounting in vce? maybe its just that lack of maturity that one has with a new subject, i find that although i managed to learn the afc1000 course and understand the concepts, it still didn't seem very natural, i think this is mainly due to the small period of time which i learnt the course and still didn't understand the fundamentals well enough. going into the exam i wasnt feeling like how i feel when i go to a maths exam, it felt like more of a "oh please dont let there be any hard questions i cant do" feeling rather than a "yea bring it on bitch, i can take anything thrown at me" again, for me, accounting just seemed too far fetched and doesn't suit me, that doesnt mean i dont like it, its just that its not a strong point because it hasnt been apart of me as long as maths has.
*ryan777*:
actually i did vce accounting, but tbh it was way down there as one of my worst subjects
finance and ratios were probably the life savers for me today
