SATs are generally practical tasks that are examined in school. Some studies in the visual arts and technology areas are also assessed via "school assessed tasks" (SATs). SACs are tasks that are written by the school and must be done primarily in class time they can include essays, reports, tests, and case studies. "School assessed coursework" (SACs) are the primary avenue of internal assessment, with assessment in every VCE study consisting of at least one SAC. Internal assessment is conducted via "school assessed coursework" (SACs) and "school assessed tasks" (SATs).
During units 1/2 all assessment is internal, while in units 3/4 assessment is conducted both internally and externally. VCE studies are assessed both internally (in school) and externally (through the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). In order to gain an ATAR a student must satisfactorily complete three units of any subject in the English field (at least one English field subject is compulsory) and twelve units in any other subjects. If a student does wish to study at a tertiary level then they will require an ATAR. If a student does not intend to proceed to tertiary education, a 'satisfactory' result is all that is required to graduate with the VCE. On completing a unit, a student receives either a 'satisfactory' (S) or 'non-satisfactory' (N) result. Students are not required to complete all the units of a subject as part of the VCE course, meaning they are able to change subject choice between years 11 and 12. Units 3/4 of a subject must be studied in sequential order, whereas units 1/2 can be mixed and matched. Subject choice depends on each individual school. Each unit comprises a set number of outcomes (usually two or three) an outcome describes the knowledge and skills that a student should demonstrate by the time the student has completed the unit. VCE subjects typically consist of four units with each unit covering one semester of study. Īll VCE studies are organised into units. The Victorian Certificate of Education is generally taught in years 11 and 12 of secondary education in Victoria however, some students are able to commence their VCE studies in year 10 or earlier if the school or institution allows it. īy 2025, the separate VCAL will be abolished, and vocational training incorporated as an option within the VCE.
The earlier Higher School Certificate (HSC) was abolished in 1992. The VCE was established as a pilot project in 1987. It is possible to pass the VCE without completing the end of year exams. Study for the VCE is usually completed over two years but can be spread over a longer period of time in some cases. A small number of government secondary schools, and a somewhat larger number of private schools, offer the IB Diploma Programme as an alternative. About 67% of all 19-year-olds in Victoria had completed the VCE in 2020, compared to about 11% of students completing the VCAL (a very small group completed both). An alternative to VCE is the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), a vocational based senior secondary school qualification. The VCE is the predominant choice for students wishing to pursue tertiary education. The Victorian Certificate of Education (often abbreviated VCE) is one credential available to secondary school students who successfully complete year 11 and 12 in the Australian state of Victoria.
