Eligibility and information for enrollment

Prepare for planned units in your study by taking a self-assessment and enrolling into preparatory or revision courses.

First-year Statistics unit

Planning to enrol in a first-year Statistics unit? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you feel comfortable working with fractions, decimals and percentages?
  • Do you feel comfortable with converting between fractions, decimals and percentages?
  • Do you feel comfortable using a calculator?
  • Do you feel comfortable with substituting values into algebraic expressions to get answers?
  • Do you feel comfortable with reading and interpreting graphs?

If you answered NO to one or more of these questions, perhaps you should consider coming to the Review Session in Basic Mathematics for Statistics.

First-year Chemistry or Biology

Planning to enrol in first-year Chemistry or Biology? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you feel comfortable working with fractions, decimals and percentages?
  • Do you feel comfortable with powers of 10 calculations and scientific notation?
  • Do you feel comfortable with rearranging algebraic expressions?
  • Do you feel comfortable with reading and interpreting graphs?
  • Did you do Mathematics or do very well in General Mathematics in your HSC?

If you answered NO to one or more of these questions, perhaps you should consider coming to the Preparatory Course in Mathematics Foundation Stream for Science.

MATH1000

Planning to enrol in MATH1000? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Did you do Mathematics for the HSC?
  • Did you do very well in General Mathematics for the HSC?
  • Do you feel confident that your mathematical skills are up to studying these units?
  • Do you feel comfortable manipulating (evaluating, rearranging, factorising) algebraic expressions?
  • Was your HSC as recent as 2019 or 2020?

If you answered NO to more than one of these questions, perhaps you should consider enrolling in the Preparatory Course in Mathematics Foundation Stream.

MATH1010

Planning to enrol in MATH1010? Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Did you do Extension 1 Mathematics in the HSC?
  • Did you do very well in Mathematics for the HSC?
  • MATH1010 assumes that you can recall and use the algebra, trig and calculus skills that you learned at school. Are you confident that you have these skills?
  • Do you feel adequately prepared to study university mathematics?
  • Was your HSC as recent as 2019 or 2020?

If you answered NO to more than one of these questions, perhaps you should consider enrolling in the Preparatory Course in Mathematics Extension Stream.
