Note: ADVANCED PLACEMENT TEST (APT) Students who have not achieved 40 or more in Specialist Maths but who for some reason are very keen to enter 620-157 (e.g. a desire to pursue Actuarial Studies, for which 620-157 and 620-158 are required) may possibly be allowed to do 620-157 and 620-158.
- Students with a score of 35 or more in VCE Specialist Mathematics, may sit for a one-and-a-half-hour Advanced Placement Test (APT), and if successful, enrol in 620-157. The form is available here.
- Students with a score of 37 to 39 in VCE Specialist Mathematics are required to visit the Mathematics and Statistics Learning Centre in the Richard Berry Building before applying to sit for the APT.
