Contribution to VCE/VCAL/Vocational Major

VCE/VCAL/VM: Students may be eligible to receive recognition of up to five units of credit: two units at the Units 1 & 2 level, and a VCE VET Units 3 & 4 sequence.

ATAR: This subject does not have a study score and therefore cannot contribute towards the student’s primary four. Students who receive a Units 3 & 4 sequence may be eligible for a 10% increment towards their ATAR (10% of the lowest result of your primary four scaled studies).

Please note: the student must already have English and three other fully scored VCE/VET subjects to create the primary four. VCAL and the VCE Vocational Major do not contribute towards an ATAR.
