Scored assessment

Scored assessment for this VCE VET program consists of three coursework tasks and an end-of-year examination which calculates the study score based on three coursework tasks worth 66 per cent and an end-of-year written examination worth 34 per cent.

This VCE VET program offers scored assessment which is based on the scored Unit 3–4 sequence of SIS30122 Certificate III in Sport, Aquatics and Recreation.

Scored Unit 3–4 sequences are not designed for standalone study. Students are strongly advised against undertaking the scored Unit 3–4 sequence without first completing Units 1 and 2. It is also a requirement that scored Unit 3–4 sequences are delivered and assessed in a single enrolment year. 

The following materials for scored assessment are available:

Examination specifications, past examinations and reports

Visit the VCE VET Sport and Recreation examination specifications, past examinations and reports page to access documentation related to end-of-year performance examinations or written examinations.

ATAR contribution

Scored VCE VET programs may contribute to a student’s ATAR as one of the primary four studies or one of the two available (and permissible) increments. Where a student completes the UoCs from a scored Unit 3–4 sequence but elects not to undertake scored assessment to receive a study score, no contribution to the ATAR will be available.

Non-scored Unit 3–4 sequences may contribute to the ATAR as an increment (fifth and/or sixth study), calculated as 10 per cent of the fourth study score of the primary four.

Further details regarding ATAR contribution for the VCE VET Sport and Recreation program can be found in the Program Booklet.

For more information on study scores and ATAR contribution, refer to the ATAR and Scaling Guide accessible from the VTAC website.
