SIM UOL students lip lais! - Part 5

[LuluLala]

i believe for iicandy case, he wants to do 5 NEW mods and 1 retake which is not possible in final year.

if you are under the old regulation, you can take 4 NEW mods and 2 resits in the final year

thank you for your advice. im taking 4 new and 2 resits. hopefully thats possible.

Just sharing my experience ,

for the past 3 years, i'm sort of studying PT... in my first 2 years i was working part time at evening shift while attending classes in the day. Most of the days after my lessons i will just head home str8 to take a nap or w/e b4 getting ready for work. Until the weekends or on my offdays i will sit down seriously n mug through. In my final year i convert to PT studies n took on a full time job with a bank, i skipped alot of lessons simply becoz i was too tired. I did most of my modules by self studying, dont even know why i so gum gong pay sim $$.

my results were pretty ok, i already have 1 leg in the FCH bracket by the end of my year 2 with 4 As. I didnt even attend any UOL overseas/ local revision class. Those that i attend i left halfway becoz i dont feel it can add anymore value to me...
I'm not super smart here but if u r willing to put in the effort u definitely can do it. i self studied most of my ****s but still made it ! If you have the right attitude, u alrdy secure half of the victory liao. good luck!

Respect!

I can blame no one but myself. The failure this time are of self inflicted. I cock up e format for one of the paper, section A do 2 qns an B do 2 qns. But instead I did 1 from A and 3 from B. And e outcome I failed by 2 marks. Another paper I was held up in a traffic jam. Paper was at 10am and I left house at 745am. And im still late for 30 minutes. I score 31 for the paper.

Which module to choose - micro, macro, ME?

 

[gohly5]

Hi everyone, I am currently a first year student, banking and finance, going 2nd year however I failed my Introduction to Economics.. From what I know, my 2nd year mods, CF and Macro Econs requires my Introduction to Econs to pass..

Now that I have failed, is it still possible for me to proceed on to 2nd year? I know I will have to retake my Introduction to Economics again, however can I take Introduction to Economics, CF, Macro Econs concurrently?

Can also anyone advise and guide me what mods should I take? By right I have to take 2 electives, but now I need to retake Introduction to Economics. So how many mods will I be total taking in year 2?

pre-req for macro is intro to econs. so you can't take concurrently

however you can still take 4 new mods + the econs which you failed, but those 4 mods must not be those which required intro to econs.

tbh don't need to care about the failed marks, what failed by 2 marks 3 marks are just plain bull**** imho

because overall is the marker decide whether student deserve a pass or not

so they put 32 or 23 also fail right, might as well put 32 let student feel "better"

I understand of cos after so many year in uol. Just because of that 2 marks means I have to waste another year to seriously pass only one mod to grad.

 

[Garlic & Butter]

Flung macro and audit. Audit by 2 marks so gonna appeal. Try try.

dont bother bro. i appealed for audit before.
Audit only has 4 questions, how hard for them to calculate marks wrongly? and this is a qualitative subject. dont waste your $ to appeal. takes them less than a minute to makan ur 50 pounds.

 

[gohly5]

pre-req for macro is intro to econs. so you can't take concurrently

however you can still take 4 new mods + the econs which you failed, but those 4 mods must not be those which required intro to econs.

Which means.. I will have to take FI and Investment management in year 2(which I planned to take in year 3) + my Introduction to Economics and 2 more mods? I am so dead now..

Just to clarify, by the end of year 3 I have to complete 12 units of mods in order to graduate?

Take as private candidate under RELC

Hi Bro & Sis, would like to check is it possible to transfer from SIM to RELC as a private candidate? As I left with one resit paper and I do not want to take under SIM as it require me to go for class. I prefer to go for self study and not willing to pay the course under SIM.

Thx

Anyone selling reference book for QF ?

abt pbf

Anyone took PBF? Is it tough?

Anyone tried self studying for PBF? Is it advisable?

for pbf exam, there is two section A and B and need to do 4 questions in total

Section A = 4 Ques Choices ( Atleast choose one )
-mostly all essay ques, rarely got calculation ques(if come out also about 7 marks)
-Ques are from chapter 2,3,4,5,6

Section B = 4 Ques Choices ( Atleast choose one )
- Half Calculation , half theory ,
- Ques are from chapter 2,6,7,8,9

--so if u are good at memorising, choose 3 ques from section A, and 1 from section b

--so if u are good at calculation, choose 3 ques from section b, and 1 from section a
note: u still need to memorise theory

Theory:
- Subject Guide is more than enough , Memorise Everything,
when writing in exam, dont vomit word for word, rephrase,add example if can.
-Can self study by yourself, no need lecturer help- i did that

Calculation Ques:
-I doubt u can self study, if u can get a senior/lecturer to teach you the technique it would be much easier+ save alot of time

overall you can self study the theory, +with some help,calculation also can.. even if u choose to totally ignore all calculation, just with theory u can get 60+

not a difficult course

most important : SUBJECT GUIDE!

one more tip : for uol revision choose Jason!! Mark is just .

Yes you can choose any modules as long its compulsory for your course and fulfill the pre-req

you have to attempt all 12 units and passed at least 10 to graduate.
