Is it possible to pick up Chemistry in Yr 12 (1 Viewer)

[Pieces of Me]

I've just found out that I need Yr 12 chemistry for the uni course I want to do

Fortunately for you, it is possible. You should inform your school and head of science as soon as possible and request to pick it up before year 12 if it's possible at your school. The sooner you begin, the less you have to catch up on.

bridging course.

bridging course.

It said Yr 12 Chemistry so i don't think i can do a bridging course

 

[Pieces of Me]

For those of you who do chemistry do you think it will be hard to catch up on

hey, rivi dude, can ya seriously pick up a course in yr12?

Bridging courses for chemistry are available in USYD

Ask your teachers if you can do the preliminary course by yourself in the holidays and do the year 12 course in year 12, or do the preliminary course and the HSC course in the same year i.e. year 12.

Or just start now

Yep, but you have to catch up with all the preliminary work done in year 11. So it's alot of hard work if you want to pick up a subject in year 12.

Some bits will, some bits won't. But if you are thinking of changing, the sooner the better.

A lot of catching up to do so change as fast as possible. Our teacher said that moles will have probably worth 10 marks in the final hsc so study that thorougly. It'll be hard but if you have the desire then there's no problem.

I thought a bridging course was just that. A course for students who did not study that particular subject in yr 11 and 12 through which you learn the assumed knowledge for the course.

who told you that?

It's not required you do these bridging courses, although it does help for the certain course you do. Since courses sometimes have subjects as "assumed knowledge" not "prerequisites"

who told you that?

She's right

 

[volition]

I doubt your school will let you pick it up, I think you'll probably have to do a bridging course if you want that knowledge now. Still, you might as well ask and find out

 

[Pieces of Me]

I think i will catch up on the prelim chem course during the coming term and in the next holidays ready for year 12, do you think it is possible to cram all that work in?

 

[chocolate_lover]

Anything's possible! If you have a good teacher, it shouldn't be toooooo hard.

no uni course/degree requires you to study chemistry, or any subject.....if you have the required UAI you can do any course/degree you want.....it just helps if you have studied specific subjects as it builds from them but if you havent done a subject you can do a bridging course or just learn it yourself.....

I thought that you can't do bridging course for pre-requisites only assumed knowledge

1 year's worth of work in one term and a bit is very possible.[comment]This comes from a kid who did 2 years worth of work in 2 terms =)[/comment]
