Choosing your modules

You can take the Maths Diagnostic Quiz in LMS to find out which skills you may need to work on. The quiz is available to students enrolled in BSC100, CHE140, EXS124, EXS204, ICT100, MAS162, MAS164, MAS180, MAS182, MAS183, PEN120, PEN152 or PSY173, and to some Open Universities Australia, offshore and alternative pathway unit students.

You can study as many of the 8 modules as you like, however we have made some recommendations based on what maths or science units you are studying.

We recommend that other mathematics, physics and engineering students attend the full Maths Refresher program.

If you performed poorly on the Maths Diagnostic Quiz, consider enrolling in MAS164 to cover more basic mathematical topics before attempting MAS182 or more complex mathematical units. Speak to the academic chair for mathematics and statistics.
