My predicament

[bucket]

actually she has a point there, why didnt u repeat methods?

it clashed with his other subjects, ie. accounting.
trust me he tired his best to get into a class to repeat it.....i didnt hear the end of it for months when he realised that it wasn't possible.

Nothing worse than a subject clash... Would have done something like Business Management myself (but chose spec instead... Lol, damn scaling initiative XD).

[brendan]

oh yeah i remember that. such a shame.

[costargh]

hey costa.
hate to tell you this but if you had done methods normal a raw 25 would have been easier to get than in cas. but thats the past so dont worry.

lol yeh
i worked that out a while ago and posted it somewhere on the forum

[kurrymuncher]

Yeah his evident determination will definitely lead him somewhere.

trying to make amends??

No need to be so cynical of everyone; let's accept the apology and move on.

Apologies FTW!

[vce01]

nawwwww...hug

...

GL costa, the situation you're in really sucks.

[phagist_]

and honestly, what kind of idiot finishes year 11, gets 24 for Methods, and chooses to do Further instead of repeating methods, knowing that they wont get in the course they want?

I'm almost certain his school wouldn't allow him or timetable clash.

I had to drop acc or eco and i wasnt willing to do that. i wouldnt change my decision anyway. i loved economics even though i got 33. not to sound cocky but my score doesnt do justice to my understanding of economics. u can ask anyone on here, not that i have to answer to you or anything.

If a school wouldn't let me do a subject to meet a prerequisite, I would move school.  A phone call to the appropriate person allows a far looser interpretation of school policy.

Lol, that's like me in legal, which I only scored a 38 in (and somewhat helped hard achieve his 49! XD)

My dad actually does the timetable for my school, so not only do I get the subjects I want, also get the teachers too . Still though, I really do feel for you, its an unfortunate situation your in, but I'm sure you'll find some pathway in to commerce. Just quickly, I agree with whoever posted that you should be careful about which commerce stream you enter, my sister got 37 raw in methods and she still struggled with some of the maths she's encountered so far while doing commerce at u.melb.

Same for me in Business Law at Uni. I don't feel that the mark I got in it compared to the amount that I actually knew. But, I guess, a part of that is the Business / Taxation Law dept. doesn't like giving out marks.

But, I'd have to step and rationalise a little in that, generally, they simply won't consider you if you don't meet the prerequisites (I've seen some of these cases before, although in the case of missing prerequisites - I knew a person who did *really* well with a score in the high 90s, but could not enter Medical Radiations due to lack of a Physics unit). However, I wish you the best of luck in pursuing the contact with the faculty.

I also think Eriny's suggestion is a good one as well - take a bridging course in Maths to meet this requirement through Open Universities or even redo Methods via Distance Education Centre, Victoria, TAFE or the Centre for Adult Education. A plus of this suggestion is that you can do this while taking a 'gap' year of sorts and working for a year.
