Monash math bridging program for under 25 ss

[Stormbreaker-X]

Hey guys, I am a current year 11 student and looking at my scores in math methods this year I predict I won't get a study score of 25 in math methods (which is what I need). I think I either failed or barely passed my unit 1 exam and despite this I still received an 'S' for unit 1 methods. I really want to go to Monash University and I want to get there via a bridging program once I get a study score of under 25. Can someone tell me how hard is the bridging program? Is it easy or hard to pass, I really doubt I can get the study score I want despite getting pass the ATAR needed.

1) You have plenty of time to improve from now to Unit 3/4: just need to put in the time and effort.

2) Pretty sure that the maths bridging course at Monash has been discontinued since the start of this year.

Edit: also probably the wrong forum category but whatever

Thank you, but what if I don't get it? I am really worried I will never get into my course
Also if there are no bridging programs what will happen to those who get under 25ss?

There are always alternate pathways. What course are you interested in?

Commerce/Engineering/Technology. I am pretty sure all needs a study score of 25 in math methods and I really don't want to do alternative pathways I want to enter straight away. Do you know why the Monash math bridging program does not exist anymore?

No idea. What I can tell you is that pretty much all reference to it has been removed from the Monash website, except for an archived website, a flyer from 2018, and a 2016 blog post announcing it. In fact, the link in the flyer is a dead link. My understanding of the discontinuation of the program is based on a small footnote I read a while back.

If you check here and compare it with the current website you will notice the absence of the Maths bridging link in the newer one.

The only people who are gonna know why Monash canned the course is Monash, sorry to say

But also, there are plenty of alternate pathways that end with you losing basically no time, if you're so worried about "losing" one year out of your entire life?

Holy crap, I can't find anything relating to the bridging program in the future either. You are right, I never knew people would notice such small signs without it being officially announced. I think it is because the bridging program does not prepare students well as oppose to doing well in year 11/12. The bridging program is basically like 6 weeks of cramming a whole years of information.
