Is it true that MHS doesn't allow year 11s to do methods 3/4?

[ninwa]

And if so, is there any way around it?

[naved_s9994]

Im not sure about Methods, but im preety sure a family friend of mine, who graduated last year from there, did a unit 3/4 in year 11 there.

So I guess doing a 3/4 in Year 11 is allowed...but not sure if theres a restriction on Methods

[IntoTheNewWorld]

Yes it's true. I've never heard of anyone doing it.

[Yitzi_K]

My school was the same.. I wanted to do methods 3/4 in yr 11 but I couldn't, and now that I'm in yr 12 they've changed the rules so you can  :tickedoff:

I'm in MHS Y10 and it is absolute bullshit. Y10 Maths is the equivalent of Y9 Maths in every way except for trigonometry...we are not allowed take Methods 1/2 to do Methods 3/4 in Y11...outrageous...[ MacRob is allowed ]

[ninwa]

Seriously?? That's really lame for one of the best schools in Victoria >_>

My brother is in MHS year 9 this year. What if he goes into year 10 already knowing methods 1/2? Will any amount of begging help or are MHS tightarses?

I see only one option for him and I don't know if it works..... ;; at the start of Y10 maths you have a diagnostic test which consists of Section A....[Year 9] and Section B [Year 9 Extended/Year 10]. I received a 43/50 ...top mark :coolsmiley:...my teacher said that if anyone had gotten a 50 they would have had no need to do Y10...43 seemed low for me to push my case so I just stayed in Y10 with my m8s;; btw who's your bro's maths teacher?

Yep thats true, im in yr 12 there, the only 3/4's you can do are accounting, psych, biology, accounting, music performance (i think) and maybe one or two others.

The reason is that they think that for the harder subjects, like methods 3/4, unit 1+2 does help a lot. For instance calculus is introduced in 1+2, and without that introduction, 3/4 calculus can be difficult to grasp. Same with probability etc.

Don't immediately say 'thats bullshit', try looking at it logically, and the above makes it an understandable decision. And no there is no way they would let you, Although recently they have been taking feedback on general running of the school, and this topic they say came up a lot, and they are reviewing their policies.

I don't think they are saying that they will skip Units 1&2 and immediately jump to units 3&4. I think they should be allowed to complete units 1&2 in year 10 and then finish 3&4 in year 11. That seems logical

That's why you do unit 1+2 in year 10...

In almost all cases where Methods is completed in year 11 unit 1+2 was done in year 10. The only exception I have heard of is Melbourne Grammar...

um..you've totally missed the pt...as m@tty said...thats y u sub Meth1/2 for Y10 maths...it is bullshit and I have thought about it logically...this year MHS is having a massive curriculum review so it might change...

[shokstar]

The electives structure only allows you to do one unit in year 10

Lol yh that's pathetic aswell...i'm doiin'' pysch U1...who is your physics teacher? I have Huysing for Y10 Science and he can't explain Y10 Physics properly...I wonder how he does in Y12 -.-

[shokstar]

lol hes bullshit, had him for yr11. Ive got draper now, and i think having hyusing last year has really affected me this year. Draper always goes on about revision of last year stuff in regards to motion. Im sitting there thinking this is the first time ive seen these things. If you do get him next year, attempt to change classes, for your own good.

morris mate, there's plenty more 3/4's that can be done in year 11 (you forgot BM, eco, health, PE and loads more)...the only ones you CAN'T do in year 11 are methods, spesh, english (normal + lit), further, physics and chemistry.
