Assessments

The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is typically completed in years 11 and 12 in Victoria, Australia. VCE subjects are divided into units, each covering a semester of study, with units 3 and 4 usually taken sequentially in year 12. Assessment is both internal and external, with internal assessments including School Assessed Coursework (SACs) and School Assessed Tasks (SATs), and external assessments consisting of examinations set by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) for units 3 and 4. To receive an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), students must complete at least three units of English and twelve additional units. External exams are conducted in late October and November, with some subjects having additional oral or performance tests. The General Achievement Test (GAT) is an essential part of the assessment process, and a variety of subjects have specific assessment formats, including oral examinations for language studies and performances for arts subjects​

  • Year 11 (Units 1/2): Assessment is entirely internal through School Assessed Coursework (SACs) and in some subjects, School Assessed Tasks (SATs).

The scoring system for the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) involves both qualitative and quantitative measures, especially for Year 12, which affects the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). Here’s a general guide to how scoring works for both years:

Year 11 (Units 1/2):

  • Assessments result in a ‘Satisfactory’ (S) or ‘Non-Satisfactory’ (N) designation for each outcome within a unit.
  • Some schools may provide additional grades or scores for internal tracking and feedback, but these do not contribute to the VCE certification or ATAR.
  • The primary focus is on whether students have met the outcomes rather than on specific grades or scores.
