2023 VCE and VET Assessment Summary

The information on this page does not relate to the VCE VM, which does not include scored assessment.

VCE studies and revised assessment in 2023

The results of school-based assessments and external assessments (including examinations) contribute towards a student’s study score in each VCE study (excluding VM studies) and towards their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). All VCE studies, excluding VM studies, have three graded assessments in each Unit 3–4 sequence, and include at least one external assessment.
