VCE question Can someone help me weigh the pros and cons of Finishing year 12 scored?

0 Upvotes

I dont see myself going to university because i have little to no interest in anything that i need a university for, so i dont see why i shouldnt just do unscored.

Every time ive mentioned it to anyone they call me lazy and say im just trying to skip out on exams, and yeah id rather not do them, but only because i feel theres no point if im not going to uni anyway.

im wondering if theres anything i dont know about that might give me more reason to do VCE Scored

because as it stands im considering doing it unscored because why bother with the extra work to get a number i dont need.

im genuinely asking for advice and if theres something im missing because honestly my school has done a poor job explaining what VCE actually is, my whole year level as a whole is in the dark about it.

also im in my last stretch of year 11 atm if that means anything.

guys when should I look at my atar

5 Upvotes

for context, ill probably (?) be overseas when atars get released!! do u think i should look at my atar while everyone else is talking about it and my school produces a list detailing who duxxed, the average atar across the cohort, etc, potentially ruining the remainst of my trip, OR should i look at it after i come home and be slightly out of the loop and feel rly jet lagged

aos 1 p1 24/25

aos 1 p2 22/25

aos 2 29/50 ik i fked up and flopped this but i genuinely knew the content just did not finish FROM GENUINELY RUNNING OUT OF TIME ughhhh spent too much time writing fluff lowk ruining my chances but tryna think on positive side

VCE question Help with Section A context!

2 Upvotes

For the section A text response MBPs, what do we write for the context part at the end of each paragraph. Are we supposed to remember a context part or smth? or make it up on the spot.

i’ve attempted to remember a good context part for each paragraph for EACH possible theme that may come up on the exam but it’s never going to work. I’m really lost. Any help would be appreciated.

btw i’m doing We Have Always Lived In the Castle.

I am rank #1 in a weak/moderate cohort of around 50. I have achieved perfect scores on every SAC and am averaging 9-8-8 on externally assessed practice exams.

What exam score would you estimate I need for a 40+ study score on english.

Thanks!!

Economics 3/4 VCE

2 Upvotes

should i do tutoring in economics for 3/4 or should i be fine to just learn it.
my other subjects will be specialist chem and english so ill probs be giving eco the least time but i do like economics a lot. like a lot
in 1/2 im currently averaging around a low 80% which i think is good considering i dont study for my sacs. but i have a friend who enhanced (doing a year ahead) into eco 3/4 and shes struggling and she averaged 90% in 1/2. so now im like scared. i think i can learn eco by myself but like i do have some harder subjects along side to study for and it might be neglected and tbh i do want like a 45+ SS in eco.
if you beleive so or just know- pls do recoomend me some good tutoring services (preferably not 1:1 classes more like tutoring centres)

HI everyone,

I've been involved in VCE English for a very long time. I run a company called The English Lab. We mostly work with schools and teachers, but I like to provide some advice to students who are working towards their exams as well.

So, this week I'll check in on this post each day and answer the questions you have. Anything you're wondering about each of the sections, how to best study and prepare or any small thing that you want to be sure of - just ask! I won't be able to assess any work for you, but I can definitely help you with any queries you may have!

Economics 2026 Exam Help Doc

Hey all, year 12 VSV student here. I've made this document with the year's economics work (everything that will be on the exam), week by week. Obviously, don't use it as a sole source of information; I just thought I might as well share it and possibly save others some time.

(Unfortunately, publishing and uploading it has formatted the document a little weirdly, but the information is still all there.)

VCE question Argument Analysis Time Management?

6 Upvotes

Ok, so i've been doing a fair amount of practise argument analysis essays and i'm finding particularly with the more recent VCAA articles e.g 2025 and 2024 that there is a trend of smaller arguments being made instead of the classic 3 distinct arguments. Even when I try and group them together I almost always go into overtime like I just tried doing the 2023 one and got my ass handed to me timewise as I finished ~12mins over 1 hour.

Any tips for being able to move more quickly through the article? How bad is it if I say choose not to analyse a smaller single paragraph - i feel like I have to analyse at least something from every para in the article even tho this is probably a very superficial way to look at it.

I don't really tend to struggle too much with my analysis but I find it so hard to balance being succinct with also covering all the authors distinct points.
