There is no "best".

If you are able to get sufficiently good results for A Levels, then A Levels would be appropriate. If you could do that for SAM, SAM would be appropriate and so on.

The cheapest way is to get a full scholarship to do Pre-U (not as common but still possible).

Hi,

May I know your basis for recommending SAM since you took MUFY? Also, are you in Monash now and how is the uni? Understand that one will lose a year if he/she takes A-level but besides that, any other pros and cons for A-levels?

Lose a year? Does Monash not have a mid year intake? Or will they only allow you to register after you have results (in which case you "lose" several months, but not a year).

A Level pros are they can be used virtually anywhere (sometimes SATs are needed because NUS is picky, and good American schools want it) and are very rigorous.

Obvious cons are length, difficulty, lack of graded research essays (if any Pre-U has these, it would be a big advantage).

Hi zstan,

Would appreciate what you mean by "more detailed". I am interested in the finance and accounting courses. In what way is A level more detailed? Does this help in getting a degree later in Monash? Does this help later in working life?

In your personal opinion, which route would you choose and why? Referring to getting an accounting and finance degree from Monash.

For Finance and Accounting, I don't believe A Levels will give you any advantage in terms of knowledge. But it will help in at least one way, as it is exams-only, and university (Finance and Accounting) will have a lot of final exams.

The "elite" Accounting and Finance degree course in Monash has got only one intake in February and its entrance requirements are quite high and I think, they have only one class for it.

The other Accounting and Finance courses has both Feb and July/ August intakes.

Interesting. What is this elite degree and how is it different?
