Oh I see, I didn't really follow the suggested pathway because i want to space out the exams.
In the suggested pathway for term 1, we will be taking managerial econs and statistics on wed and thurs respectively.
If that is the case, on exam week 1, we will have exam on managerial econs on wed and statistics on the next day (thurs).
Shag sia.
I doubt I have enough time to study though so I try to plan to have at least 1 break day in between the exams.
Another thing to note with the planning is contingency plans.
Despite having your ideal plans, during the module selection you might find that they only give you a set of choices to choose. You need to incorporate flexibility in your plan to switch modules in between semesters.
So the rule of thumb is always grab the modules that are most important first. Important in a sense that some are important pre-requisites. You need to attempt them before you can take higher level modules. Like in Finance course, you need to take statistics before you can take financial math (FM), FM is also a prerequisite for FIN309 Finance. FIN309 is also pre-requisite for the level 3 finance electives. For case like this, you will want to grab statistics on 1st sem, FM on 2nd sem and probably FIN309 on 3rd sem onwards. That will open all courses to you at the shortest possible time.
Also I would suggest try to choose a level 3 module during your first semester, preferably a level 3 ECA module to have a feel of the difference in level 1,2,3s' 'difficulty'. At the same time ECA module has no written exam, only assignments. You will also have higher chances to meet those seniors that are going to graduate. Talk to them, see how they do things. It can be valuable. 'Level' is determined by the 1st number after the alphabets e.g. FIN3XX means finance level 3 module.
You will encounter modules that are sort of 'linked' like ECO201 - managerial econs and ECO203 international econs or financial accounting and managerial accounting. I suggest you to take the first one first followed by second one e.g. ECO201 first then ECO203. Don't do the opposite as first one teaches the basic.
First semester can load more as modules tend to be 'easier' compared to doing all level 3 modules towards the end. Save some level 2 and ECA modules to do later for easier life. Work a little harder at first and make life easier towards the end. Ucore clear it in first few sem that's it. Ucore has basket 1,2,3. You need to take at least 1 from each. Basket 1 academic writing (2.5CUs) is compulsory so can consider take it in 1st sem. It is like English essay writing on 2 Saturdays, no exam just 2 written assignments. Basket 2 take one 2.5CUs module and basket 3 take one 5CUs module - done with Ucore.
So e.g. for 1st semester, you take three level 2 core modules (maybe 2 term 1, 1 term 2), one level 3 ECA module and Ucore basket 1 academic writing. Then by exam time, the ECA module will be down, Ucore 2 essays down. You will only be left with 3 written exams (2 on exam week 1, 1 on exam week 2. That will be quite manageable given they are basic level modules. As you progress further can adjust along the way.
