University Enhancement Physics

[schnappy]

I got 5.5 in uni physics, having done Methods and Physics both in year 11 (scores 36 and 38) and got in without having to do their little test. I didn't do specialist in year 12, and you certainly don't need it. There were some new maths ideas come up - ie. integrals (I learnt that integrals are much more amazing than Methods would have you think), but you don't need to know much to do uni physics.

If your deciding to do uni-physics at Monash, you must have completed unit 3 and 4 of physics in year 11. The same way methods must be completed before uni-math in year 12.
(p.s. I found out the hard way with uni-math this year)

What about Uni physics with Melb Uni. Do you need to finish vce physics in Year 11

For Melbourne University the VCE requirements for physics are: the completion of Physics 3/4 and Mathematical Methods 3/4 in Year 11. And I don't know many people who would do that.
However for applicants who have not completed prerequisites they will be required to attend an interview and/or sit a test to determine whether their proficiency is equivalent to 3/4 level.
I wish Monash would do this, but oh well...

You can get into melb uni one without having completed either methods or physics I think (my friend applied without doing either but I haven't asked if he got in yet)
I got in with having only completed 3/4 methods though no min SS I believe
You just take a 'selection test' which was pretty simple/easy; just yr 11 stuff

Ooo my comments are for UMEP. I wasn't aware Monash did Physics; and just assumed the OP had Ext/Enh confused.

For UMEP.... most of my friends didn't get in for this year because their reports didnt meet the B+ avg pre-req =\
Well, that's what I'd say since their actual scores in physics (we applied for UMEP Physics) were higher than mine
And the class was being held at their school (I was the only one from a diff school)

So if you're aiming for UMEP, make sure that you get a good average overall
(mine was ~86% across all my subjects with ~89% in physics)

GOOD LUCK!
