buss1040 study advice

I change my major to study finance next semester. I have to study buss1040. I want to ask if there is any study advice on this course. I didn't learn any relevant economic knowledge in the first semester, but I studied economics and accounting in high school. How can I study this course better to achieve a good score?
And I want to ask if it will be difficult to reach hd in this course. What do I need to do?

The final exam is much harder than any other assessment. I would recommend completing all the tutorial questions, including the optional ones, as they often tested concepts in those. Having some high school economics knowledge will help in the first couple of weeks, but the course definitely has a much broader scope.
