from parts one and two of the IAA's exams is 73% (i.e. a H2A grade).
a H2A is 75-79..

apologies, that is correct..... i seem to have combined the fact that you need a H2A adverage to retain a guranttted place in the JD with act stud info..... i swear year 12 is slowly but sureley killing me >.<

Take an easier subject, get a better mark.

Linear Algebra is hard enough :(

Accelerated maths 1&2 are the amped up versions of linear algebra.... and they are MOST DEFINITELY compulsory in first year for those that have done spesh and gottena 38+ as they are pre-requisites to exemption subjects

"Intoduction to acturial studies" is kinda well.....an introduction to acturial studies..... lol so well i ahve not definitte idea on it's status as a compulsory subject, it is probebly advisable to get a taste of what ur gonna be doing for quite a while to come...

not everyone wants to major in Actuarial from the outset just like how people bail on actuarial after first year.

Nope, there are people who do switch to Actuarial Majors after first year and do no complete Intro to Actuarial. (I know of one person, who was doing Acc/Fin majors initially and did Accelerated 1 & 2 in first year as breadth, and now is majoring in Actuarial)

serious? I thought linear algebra was way more applied-ish lol (at least from the texts I've read...)
