ATAR contribution
Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the VCE VET Hospitality program Unit 3–4 sequence must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score. This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student's best four studies (the primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study increment.
Where a student elects not to receive a study score for a scored Unit 3–4 sequence no contribution to the ATAR will be available.
The increment is awarded by the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).
Further information can be found on the
VTAC website.
Where a scored Unit 3–4 sequence is used as an increment, the increment will be calculated using 10% of the scaled score.
