Exactly how the mythical VCE works is a constant source of confusion for parents and students - sometimes even for those currently undertaking VCE subjects. Hopefully all of the following information - explained for you by a VCE survivor! - will clarify the key points of confusion.
The VCE consists of four units (1-4) which are undertaken across two years. These are generally Year 11 (Units 1 and 2) and Year 12 (Units 3 and 4), however subjects can be undertaken as accelerated courses of study. As a result, some students may undertake Units 1 and 2 of a subject in Year 10 and Units 3 and 4 of a subject in Year 11. While this is the most common form of acceleration, some schools allow units to be taken even in earlier school years. Note that, in some cases, it is possible to undertake Units 3 and 4 of a subject without having completed Units 1 and
The VCE is structured around a study design that details all the content to be learned by students. This content is broken down into key Areas of Study. They are then tested in Outcomes (graded S/N -satisfactory or not-) in Units 1 and 2 and School Assessed Coursework (SACs, graded A+ to UG - ungraded) in Units 3 and 4, as well as final VCE exams at the end of all four units.
Final exams explicitly test only learning from Units 3 and 4, however content from Units 1 and 2 is assumed knowledge and therefore often necessary to complete exams. At the end of the process, students receive a Study Score out of 50 for each Units 3 and 4 subject undertaken, as well as an overall ATAR. Study scores are derived from SAC and exam marks, while the ATAR is derived from the study scores. Both of these forms of a student's final mark are rankings against the performance of other students. Here is a VCE subject scaling report from 2022 that can help you gage how much your subject scales up or down!
The VCE system can be quite complex, and understanding what's going on can be very daunting for new students and parents. If you ever need some assistance with VCE studies or subject specific help, KIS Academics tutors have a thorough understanding of their subjects and can assist in understanding curriculum requirements. Our tutors are able to provide materials and teaching on how to prepare for VCE assessments. Learn about our VCE tutoring and book a free study skills consultation with a KIS Academics tutor.
As a year 11 student doing ATAR, I was looking for a tutor that could help me with French. KIS Academics was incredibly helpful and fast at finding me a wace french tutor who could assist me with my studies. My tutor Eliza Carey over the past few months has helped me so much not only in French but in biology and maths as well. I’m incredibly grateful for the effort and commitment she has put into helping me be more comfortable and less stressed about the subjects I was having difficulty with. It’s been nothing but an honour to be tutored by Eliza and I strongly recommend her as a tutor

Hey there! My name is Jeff, and I graduated as the Dux of Xavier College with an ATAR of 99.95. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Medicine at Monash University.
High school is unequivocally challenging - VCE aside for a moment, balancing your social life, home life and extra-curricular activities can seem quite daunting. I was in your position not too long ago and had an incredibly full-on schedule. And perhaps like you now, I dreamt big - I wanted to go into medicine after high school. This meant juggling all my commitments while being in the top 0.1% of the state academically. Frankly, I had my doubts.
But I made it.
Since graduating high school, I have made it my mission to help passionate, conscientious students who dare to dream to attain their full potential. Having tutored and mentored more than 30 students, I am very confident in helping you to score the best marks possible and get into your desired uni course.
And unlike some, I didn't sacrifice my social life and hobbies in year 12. I have gradually developed a series of strategies to study efficiently and maximise every second of my revision to maintain good grades. These have helped me to attain perfect study scores and Premiers' Award in Physics and English. And perhaps more importantly, I had an eminently enjoyable and personally enriching experience throughout the six years of high school.
My teaching style is concept-oriented, meaning I prioritise helping you to fully understand the underlying ideas using well-written and clear notes before walking you through example questions. In other words, I wish to train and guide the way you think and approach questions. Having been tutored myself by a VCE methods examiner, I'm confident in helping you to develop an "exam-perspective" to understand just exactly what the examiners are looking for. Moreover, I aim to cultivate the skill of studying efficiently rather than abundantly within all my students, an ability that will undoubtedly assist you in time management and to achieve success in your future careers - after all, that's what VCE is all about!
Hi! My name is Tamsyn and I graduated as Dux of Strathcona BGGS, with an ATAR of 99.90, including a raw 50 in Chemistry and a Premier's Award. Having recently completed VCE, I am familiar with how stressful it can be. However, I am also very aware of how a calm, consistent approach with attention to keeping on top of key concepts and how to apply them, can lead to success. I have a passion for Chemistry, but completely understand it is not everyone’s thing! I also have a strong knowledge base, having completed up to second year university physics and maths, and am currently doing my Honours in Chemistry.
Having already helped many students with both the basics and intricacies of Chemistry, Physics and Maths, I would love to help you understand the mysteries of these subjects and achieve your goals.
Throughout VCE, while I undoubtably focussed on my school work, I held several leadership positions and remained involved in many extra curricular activities including swimming, athletics, cross country, debating, string orchestra and academic extension. Maintaining this busy lifestyle forced me to study extremely efficiently and effectively.
I explain content in an engaging and comprehensive way but also help improve your study skills, so you don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love or a solid night’s sleep!
Now I am studying the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) - Science at the Australian National University, and when I'm outside the lab enjoy running, triathlons, dinners with friends, and of course, tutoring my lovely students!
Hey, I'm Eleni! I graduated from Haileybury with an ATAR of 97.4 - and if you'd asked me before year 12 how I was going to achieve that, I would have drawn a blank. I loved school, especially English, but despite being a great writer with "so much potential" according to teachers, I could barely make it through my homework, and I'd never finished a timed essay.
A little trial and a lot of error over my whole school life led to two discoveries: one - I had ADHD, and two - I had to do things a bit differently from my peers if I wanted to get results that reflected what I was capable of. And it worked! I found what worked for me and stuck to it, and learned that the road to success looks different for everyone - and that idea guides me as a tutor.
I'm now studying English and Ancient History at Melbourne Uni, which I absolutely love (even though I still have to write lots of essays). I've been able to develop and understand the skills necessary to write some pretty killer analysis, and knowing that everyone learns differently, I aim to help my students develop those skills too - and hopefully enjoy the process!
