how challenging/ possible is it for someone with no education in physics (after yr10), to enter a course requiring physics.
ive heard lots of rumours about bridging courses moving v. fast and being v. hard.
any imput would be great

i've looked into this too- for engineering (civil) at both UNSW and USYD, it might not be necessary to do a physics bridging course- they said you won't know until you start. but they said they start at the beginning, but move pretty quickly through it all. apparently maths is much more important.

yeah.
its your maths knowledge that really counts.
trig, quadratis, sketching and plotting of graphs, integrating and differentiating and exponentials and so on.
at very least 2 unit

if you have an extension 1 math background you'll be ok. buy an excel hsc physics book and get familiar with the formulas on the formula sheet.
lol thank god they provided trig identities in the formula sheet
