Everything you need to know in VCE | ATAR, SACs, scaling | Lisa Tran

*** OPEN FOR TIMESTAMPS + VCE INFO RESOURCES! ***
Scaling, moderation, 50 study score, SACs, ATAR aggregate, ranking - what do all these mean and how do they come together? I help you see the bigger picture by digging into the inner-workings of the VCE-system. After this video, you should be knowledgeable in how your study scores and ATAR are determined! Remember, at the end of the day you can spend as much time as you want to calculate your ATAR, or comparing yourself to others but I request you to ask yourself - do these actions actually help me improve? The key is studying smart, and focusing on yourself.

I'm in year 10 at the moment but i can tell that these videos are really going to help me in VCE :) Thanks Lisa!

[bonhamrubi-quinn]

Very helpful. I'm a year 10 in Victoria. We always hear these terms but teachers expect we understand them, and by all means, we do... but not very well. This has improved my understanding greatly 🤗

[marionette]

I am in Yr 12 in QLD and starting ATAR at the moment, this video was very helpful for my understanding of the weighting, even though the systems are slightly different. Thank You!!!

[ckoodc]

Hey Lisa could you talk more about how your class rank actually works and affects your ATAR. You sort of glossed over it and I heard it can affect your SAC marks.

[gurleensidhu]

[claragorges]

[crazyloon]

I am in year seven...so this is important.

[radhikathakker]

I have chosen a combination of 5 subjects of the Humanities stream. My year 11 score is 95%. Will I still have the chances of scoring ATAR above 95 if I've 5 subjects?

[izobelarmstrong]

Why do arts get scaled down? They aren’t easy…

[teaganm]
