What is the GAT?
The General Achievement Test (GAT) is a test of general knowledge and skills in written communication, mathematics, science and technology, humanities, the arts and social sciences.
The GAT is an important part of the VCE assessment procedures. Although it isn’t part of the graduation requirements and doesn’t count towards your VCE results or your ENTER, the GAT plays an important role in checking that your school assessments and examinations have been accurately assessed.
Therefore, if you are enrolled in Units 3 and 4 of any VCE study or any VCE VET scored program – whether in Year 11 or Year 12 – you must sit the GAT unless you are exempted by the VCAA. There must be a good reason for this.
Your GAT results will be reported with your Statement of Results.
