Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr H. Kim.

Recommended Prior Learning

Students who experience the most success normally have completed the Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics course during Year 12 with a high degree of success (14 credits or more). This then supports them to have the essential skills needed to support them with the content of this course. 

This course works at a high literacy level, and it is recommended students have successfully completed a Level 2 English course.

It would be recommended that students who struggled with Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics should usually repeat the course again in Year 13 as it is a significant step up in statistical skills to be successful on the Level 3 Statistics course.

Their Mathematics teacher will be available to guide students with their selection choices for Year 13 so that they can maximise their likelihood to succeed.

This course is appropriate for students wishing to continue biological and social sciences, medicine, commerce and management or any field in which the collection, analysis and interpretation of quantitative data is important.

It offers four internal assessments and one external assessment and is a University Entrance approved subject.
