VCE GENERAL ACHIEVEMENT TEST
The General Achievement Test (GAT) which takes place in June is a pen-and-paper test of general knowledge and skills taken by students in the course of completing their Senior Secondary studies.
The GAT plays an important role in the quality assurance of VCE assessments and also provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate they meet the Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Standards expected at a Senior Secondary level. GAT results are also used in the calculation of the Derived Examination Score (DES).
No special study is needed. Past study of subjects like English, Mathematics, Science and History prepares students for the GAT by building their general knowledge and skills in writing, numeracy and reasoning.
