On Reddit: "Do you really need to do all 5 in one semester? Are you aiming for high grade or just passes? Assuming you’ve done ECON2300, ECON2333 shouldn’t be too hard but does require a fair bit of work to achieve a high grade. I haven’t done ECON2050 myself but have heard it’s a big step …"
On Reddit: "ECON1010 as people are saying. Also finm1415 when I did it a few years ago was a bit of a joke. Half of the questions on the mid sem were the exact same as a practice exam we were given (they didn’t even change values)"
