Question about Uni Prereq's

[luken93]

Hey, just a question. When a Uni prereq is eg. A study score of 35 for Chemistry to gain entry to Biomed at UoM, is this score scaled? If it was, you would only need around a 30?
Thanks

Raw score

[Gloamglozer]

Yes, like Cataclysmic said, universities look at the raw scores.  Scaled scores are purely for the calculation of the ENTER, not for pre-reqs.

hey guys just wondering for uni of melb the prerequisites for a course is 25 in english 25 in maths methods and physics

if i dont get 25 in english but get like 40 for maths methods and 35 physics would i have a chance of getting accepted and also get in with the required enter ie for seas students its 78 or above

ps: with seas melb uni allow's students who's enter is 78 or above (for enviroments and science..)

If you don't get the required raw study scores (for the prerequisites) for a course you will not be accepted. ENTER means nothing if you don't meet the prerequisites.

Yep, that's right.
A forum member got 24 for methods (which he needed 25) and exceptional study scores for his relevant subjects and with a fantastic ENTER as well but didn't get into his course.

Isn't the English pre-req 30 for all courses at Monash and Melbourne? and 25 for other kinds of eng?

usually ESL is the one you need to score highest in compared to the others so .. with your example it would be 30 in ESL with 25 in all other english subs (english, lit)

That's what I thought as well for UoM.  You need at least 30 in English or ESL and 25 in either English Language or Literature.

[samuch]

for biomed at UoM you need at least 30 in ESL and 25 in english/english lang/lit

edit: btw this info is from the 2010 UoM course guide

[Gloamglozer]

In the VTAC Guide it says:

Units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English and a study score of at least 35 in Chemistry...

And then on the website:

2010
Units 3 and 4 - a study score of at least 25 in any English/English Language/Literature or at least 30 in ESL and a study score of at least 35 in Chemistry and at least 25 in one of Mathematical Methods (either), Specialist Mathematics, Biology or Physics.

[Fyrefly]

Definitely raw scores.

hey is there any courses that need a 40 SS for a prereq?
Also, does it matter how high your prereq is?

iv never heard of a course that requires 40 SS as a prereq :S
i could be wrong though
and it doesnt matter how high your prereq is as long as you get over the certain SS they want eg 30 or watever
