VCE COMPLETING VCE UNITS WITHOUT CALCULATION OF A STUDY SCORE
Schools are encouraged to support all students enrolled in the VCE, excluding students enrolled in the VCE VM, to undertake scored assessment. Scored assessment provides VCE students a more detailed record of what they have achieved and is the best way to maximise their vocational opportunities and pathways to further education.
The VCE provides the flexibility to satisfactorily complete units without being assessed for levels of achievement in all or any graded assessments (2 graded assessment scores are required to achieve a study score).
Where students are at risk of not completing or have other valid reasons for not undertaking scored assessment, a school may advise them to undertake one or more VCE units without being assessed for levels of achievement in those units or sitting external assessment. Students must still undertake all requirements of the outcomes specified for the unit, including any school - based assessments. A teacher ’ s judgement on whether the student has satisfactorily achieved the outcomes for a study as determined by evidence gained through the assessment of a range of set work (learning activities) and assessment tasks (including school - based assessments) must be consistent for all students who are being assessed for levels of achievement in the study and those who are not.
All graded assessment will be entered as NA (not assessed) on VASS. In this case, a study score will not be calculated.
