I found MCQ challenging but the essay part very easy.
Same questions came out in the past before, if they did the past 2008-2015 past year papers for ZA/ZB before, they'll confirm do well one.

For this year, Question 2 was like 2009's za question 3.
Got international supplier and local supplier, international supply is perfectly elastic. then fall in rental of local supplier. then asked to draw initial diagram, draw short run long run, then ask about if it will affect other industries.

Then got monopoly calculation also, a super simple calculation. Just require you to have math1 knowledge and draw the simple graph. Free marks one.

Macro got Free Response (close economy), Transfer of Income (i think), and main trading partner. I personally felt the close economy was easy leh. Ask about government wishes to increase expenditure funded by public to increase education level of ppl, then they say assume that the increased education will increase productivity. asked to draw initial, sr without increased in productivity, then lr with increased. then also asked about what would have changed if increase taxes instead of getting funded by public.
Tough MCQ but compensated with big questions. Good luck!

Ohhh. Because those are bnf's core. So I thought you are from bnf. Hahaha!

How is IM? Upgraded version of CF or PBF?

I'm thinking whether should I be taking VSA for my elective.

I don't know if it's the new ruling, you cannot take CF with FM

Sent from Sun using GAGT

Yeah I didn't take FM. Syallabus wise there's quite a fair bit of overlaps with CF/PBF. Portfolio theory, bond calculations and derivatives. Haven't seen the questions though so check back next week!

vsa got a bit of mixture from accounting, pbf, cf.. and a lot of theory/ empirical research.. exam wise usually people answer 1 theory qn and 3 calculation qns. :s13::s13:

Ahh. No wonder there are people suggesting that we should take IM, CF and CFA level 1 together.

The more calculations the better...? ***************************

Sounds like the plan for CF.

Sent from Sun using GAGT

usually calculation qn is roughly half half calculate and explanatory. for theory i not sure how to really attempt it but i just vomit whatever i had memorised in my brain.. both should be fine if you really practice pyp and memorise ba.. :s13::s13::s22::s22:

somemore recently they put right at the start of may, i ended up taking micro and vsa same day... :s13::s13::s13:

Failing Half - Unit

If I fail half unit module i.e, Stats 1 but I pass math with a high grade that makes an overall pass . Will there be a need to re-take Stats 1 again?

Yes, need. The requirement is to retake all failed papers the following yr. The only exception is if you're in ur final yr, then you still need to attempt again in ur final yr but allowed to graduate with max 2 failed mods.

Hope this clears ur doubt~

Yeah definitely makes preparation easier if you take CF and IM together. As for CFA, the section with the highest weightage is financial reporting, followed by I think quantitative methods. Other finance stuff/concepts are not as deep as UOL's individual modules(at least for level1).

hey senior, are we allowed to use pen to draw graph on graph paper? I did that for stats 1 today, and I am damn scared now.
