Which courses did you apply for at UTS?

It probably has something to do with the prior knowledge you require to enter your course.

i apply to combined degree b.engineering and b.biotech (mmm...maybe this thread should move to engineering forum)

but i do the require knowledge thingy, i did advanced english, 2u maths 3u maths and physics?

According to the handbook entry (http://www.handbook.uts.edu.au/eng/ug/c10078.html):

Additional assumed knowledge
Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.
English Advanced is recommended.

If you have done these subjects, I do not see the point of a diagnostic test as per the letter you received. You could ring up the Faculty of Engineering and enquire about it.

I agree. I have completed and past HSC physics and english. I should only be tested on the maths since I didnt do 3 unit. What could they possible ask us for physics anyway.. do we get calculators and stuff?

yea i think u need calculators bring it anways, my calculator gives my comfort in maths exam. Maths is multiple choice i think, english is on engineering communication (not sure what they ask for english) physics i have no idea

note for nos: i pm u on bored about the test

To help identify those students who may benefit from additional help in some areas of study, every NEW student commencing studies for a UTS undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Engineering must complete diagnostic tests in English, Maths and Physics before semester begins.

Any student who does not successfully complete these tests will be withdrawn from the relevant Core or Foundation subjects they are enrolled in. Click here for more information.

sorry, i think english will be about engineering communication and i have no idea about physics (prob ill just revise yr 12 again)

 

[watiwat]

is there anything specific we need to bring to these tests?
