I regret not picking maths methods

[VeryJuicyLemon]

Really wanted to go in a engineering course, what to do now? repeat year 12 and change to methods?

Have you investigated if any bridging courses are available or if you can enroll into a different course, complete 1st year maths and transfer?

Hmm, isn't bridging courses for people who narrowly missed out? e.g. getting 24 on eng but required to get 25

Also thought about doing diploma then transfer but wouldn't it be more cost & time efficient just to repeat?

Isn't repeating Year 12 just a waste of time and money as well?
If you can get into a diploma and then be able to transfer the year after wouldn't that be better?
I mean taking a diploma isn't the end of the world since you can also get some credits for university subjects hence not needing to repeat them thus saving on some costs and time.

Doing a bridging course isn't for people who just narrowly missed out. But it depends on the course you want to take.

My advice is to ask the Program Manager and/or Year 1 co-ordinator of the Engineering Course you want about this as they will be able to give more information on this specific situation.

I suggest talking to a course advisor or someone similar. It's likely you'll be able to do just another subject or two to replace methods, and be able to start your course after that. I wouldn't recommend redoing year 12, it's a waste of time money and energy, better to just do an extra uni subject and not put yourself though it.
Investigate your options further but it's highly likely you can just do an extra subject or two, although it may push back the start of your degree a semester or so.

Will completing either of these bridging courses, allow me to be to meet the prerequisite?

The RMIT course there is for teaching degrees i think. The monash course is for people who do methods, but do badly in it. I did a quick google but couldn't find information for either of those uni's. I found a bridging program for Swinburne and some information on bridging programs at Melbourne Uni (wrong degree but I assume the same applies). It's probably best to ring them and ask rather than trying to sort through all the options on google to find anything.

So I found this:
https://commercial.unimelb.edu.au/custom-education/courses/calcprob
I check some practice question that was presented, wasn't as difficult but several question couldn't be solved as the knowledge needs to be learnt. I'm moving towards to study passively as I have access to a methods textbook (does methods knowledge correspond to further mathematics in anyway? or does it help?)

and this is what I'm interested in applying to:
https://www.eng.unimelb.edu.au/study/degrees/bachelor-design-civil/entry-requirements#entry-requirements
(what does: "Mathematical knowledge equivalent to a study score of 25 in VCE Mathematical Methods" mean exactly? Can having a further of 40+ help? )

I believe the "equivalent to 25 in methods" refers to studying an equivalent subject from elsewhere, ie another state / country. Further won't count for that as far as I know.
Definitely contact the uni, they'll have certain requirements. It's probably best for you to self-study the 1/2 content (according to what you said about the test, you should be able to teach yourself the rest) and then take that subject or equivalent to meet the 3/4 methods prereq. According to that page it's 3 weeks into the course, so you might not be able to enrol until next semester (you can always ask - for my subjects you have a couple of weeks to change if needed). Teaching yourself the entire 3/4 methods course may be a bit much, and having someone to teach you the content can make it a lot easier.
Also if I may ask, what are you currently doing? Taking the year off?
