Hi,
I'm asking this on behalf of my friend since he doesn't have an account here yet. So basically his year 10 teacher was super annoying and didn't recommend 90% of his year 10 pre-methods (middle stream maths at his school) to do Methods 1/2.
He had a General 1/2 class during orientation week in early December and it was boringly easy for him, yet the school said it was too late to transfer into Methods 1/2 (despite it being during the middle of orientation week). He wanted to do the Bachelor of Science at Melbourne but now he can't without a bridging course. Melbourne says these are all of the options:
* Take the Calculus and Probability Online course, which is the equivalent of VCE Mathematical Methods 3/4. This subject will cover similar material to the VCE subject and will give you a firm foundation for tertiary maths study.
* Take the Senior Mathematics course via UniLearn.
* Take the subject MAST10012 Introduction to Mathematics through the Community Access Program (CAP), which lets you take single subjects.
Commence a Bachelor of Arts and complete the subject MAST10012: Introduction to Mathematics and then apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Science. Transfer is subject to academic grades.
* Commence a Bachelor of Science at another university and complete a subject that’s equivalent to MAST0012: Introduction to Mathematics, then apply to transfer. When you apply to transfer, we’ll take into account all of your academic study
* Do an adult VCE program.
What would be the best option and is there a way he could do the CAP during year 11 or 12 before applying for Melbourne / while doing his VCE studies?
Is there anything he can do in regards to the school not letting him transfer subjects?
Thanks
