Scored Assessment
Selected programs within the VCE VET suite have a study score component based on the designated Unit 3 and 4 sequence of their program. Scored Assessment is comprised of two graded assessments for:
- school-assessed coursework - a set of coursework tasks set by the assessor
- an examination set by the VCAA.
The study score can contribute directly to the ENTER as one of the students primary four scaled studies or as the fifth or sixth study.
It is important to note that the Units 3 and 4 sequences of VCE VET programs are not designed as stand-alone studies. In order to receive the VET qualification, students must undertake the entire Units 1–4 structure of a VCE VET program.
