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 🤗

[@ckoo7dc]

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.

[@witz08]

I'm in year 8 right now this video and made me understand the whole Atar thing thank you so much Lisa

[@monkeymuncher2]

I'm in year 10 rn... my advice to you is watch a lot of these study tip and guide videos this year when you still have time to - youll need it think about vce early

[@marionette4793]

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!!!

[@vcestudyguidesonline]

Welcome to the ATAR Marionette! (:

[@ellieschwarz382]

Thx for explaining how the ATAR works. Thx so much

as someone in year 11, in Queensland next year, this is so so so helpful because absolutey know one knows what is going on and if there's weighting or anything! Thank you so much, eveythings helping so much haha. I'll be sure to watch all your videos haha.

Yikes! I’m from America and I randomly heard about this stuff. Our equivalent in high school are the ACT/SAT scores, but they’re not as complex lol.

thank you

[@katerebello4587]

Whats the highest score you can get for an ATAR subject?

[@sxge4751]

55. Granted you do specialist/language subject and don't drop a single mark on sacs and the exam.

[@aminruman3323]

Hey, would you mind making a seperate video about ‘after darkness’?

Already uploaded!

[@kellyyang7261]

Thank you so much this video was so helpful ❤️❤️

[@miamor5929]

Hey so im an undult going back into college/studying in QLD. ( kinda know how this work, new to this) My question is, is it possible to start ATAR in QLD rather than wait 2020.??? Because ill be moving to NSW at the end of 2019 and figured might aswell study early here in QLD

[@maryle156]

Hey so I’m struggling with my SACs at the moment and I’m not quite sure what that means towards my study score. Could you explain the significance of 3/4 SACs?

[@QuriouslyCurious]

Mary Le Dow focus on exams u will take top scorers scores if u do really well meaning your sac grades will go up to ur grade for the exam or close to the grade, I just finished methods exam today 🙀

[@ReleaseTopic87]

Well, when I check the VCE past paper, the full score is 40. How can u get 45?? I'm so confused in that part

[@coolkicks4190]

where it has grade 1,2 and 3 then my study score, why are the grades mid marks when i got A+ on almost all my sacs?

[@christophersawa2487]

sorry to ask but if my lowest scored subject is English, does it go into the bottom 2 and are external exams, the hsc exams, and internal exams, like the trials, etc. Thanks

[@user-gz5wn4th9b]

English is always your top subject as its the only compulsory subject

[@chloieadrianna9813]

Would this be the same with HSC?

[@lottie1693]

This is really helpful, thank you. Does how the ATAR is calculated apply to all states/territories? I'm in SA and everything seems to vary just a little bit differently from state to state

[@morematcha]

What are the questions like on the GAT?

[@justinealice6817]

THANK YOU

[@elizabethwilliams2119]

Can you explain this with the WA ATAR system because it is different

[@old2q]

this video was great in terms of clearing up everything i've known about vce so far, but i do have a few questions: 1. i've heard that i am able to choose six subjects to study for vce in year 11, but some of my peers have said i apparently have to narrow it down to five subjects in year 12? 2. for my atar, will i get to decide which four subjects will placed in the top four and which two i can leave as the 10% subjects. or will i have to purposely score lower in the two subjects i didn't want to include in the top four, it would also help to know if there any tips to achieving high scores across all six subjects while still maintaining the positions of the top four subjects you intended to have for your atar thanks! :)

[@old2q]

also are certain subjects, like english already set as a mandatory/top 4 subject while others like accounting, music performance etc. set as an additional subject (as in the %10 increment subjects)? sorry if i'm not making sense

[@Molotovcandy]

Is this the same in nsw or is it Victoria exclusive?

[@lachlanaulich3566]

What happens if I can only do 5 vce subjects instead of 6 because of my school? Does this negatively affect my score? Thanks.

[@user-jf7kt4vr7v]

What happens if you’re in year 11 and doing a 3/4, does that get scaled up?

[@vcestudyguidesonline]

You're compared with other people doing 3/4s (so majority of the students will be in the year above you). I can't answer whether you get scaled up or down because it's dependent on the cohort.

[@crazyloon3537]

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

[@bangyanjin5454]

Thank you for explaining the Atar system. I was just wondering if you do more than 6 subjects and let's say ur 6th and the 7th highest scoring subject is both 35 or something, which one would actually be counted or do both get counted towards your atar?

[@muhamadbhuiyan4726]

Bangyan Jin whichever on is better after scaling. So if u have biology and business as 6th and 7th and they both have a score of 35, biology would be your 6th subject because it scales up by 1 whereas business scales down by approximately 2.

[@mitchellbidner2850]

Does a cert iii scale down significantly

[@radhikathakker0935]

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?

[@emaanbaho6478]

Hi teacher I need help how to answer quotes question because I'm doing EAL year 12 so if you can help me and thank you

[@patcam8652]

I'm a bit confused, I get most of it. But I have heard about year 10 VCE, and I have heard you need to get atleast B+ for every class all throughout year 9. Is this the case everywhere?

[@irisw6306]

I think you're talking about doing a VCE subject in year 10. Im a year 10 student in Victoria and im doing Unit 1 + 2 Biology. I got a few Cs and mostly Bs in Year 9 but I still got in and now im getting As in Bio. I think it depends on your school.

[@irisw6306]

They did say i needed at least a b+ or an A but i still got in

[@patcam8652]

@@irisw6306 ok thankyou

[@kakunamatatta]

lmfao years 7-10 for me were shocking, I had terrible scores. I did 1/2 of bio during year 10, and finished it off this year (year 11) - but the 1/2 scores didn't matter anyway.

[@denizlevent256]

what if you are an international student and you have started year 11? how are they going to score me?

[@nxcharee]

What if I do 5 subjects only? Then I won’t have the extra 10% ?

[@simontarrant5937]

nicharee srichan yes but hopefully having only five subjects you have more time to focus on them and can get higher scores on them compensating for the missing 10%

[@guangdazhu7387]

so if I did badly in the GAT, will my SAC results be adjusted lower?

[@NicolasMorus]

your GAT can only be used to increase your score, not lower them, at least that's what I remember

[@kaceygrande]

I've been failing my sacs but I think I will do well in exams because I have all my notes for everything and im good and remembering anything tips?

[@vcestudyguidesonline]

Hi there, thanks for your comment! One good approach is to treat SACs like a practice run for your exam to help you get better and better throughout the year. Here's some videos that you might find useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXjKaoecgLVpa7c (how SAC scaling works), kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfdZGagg7aAiqM (what to do when you fail a test). Hope this helps! :)

[@acd9648]

As a student who loves art and performance subjects I hate scaling!

[@echoplayz9347]

What are the chances of me pulling a 35 for chemistry?

[@mooncake1680]

thank you Lisa, it is really helpful. i want to ask a one thing about choosing subject. i am in y11 right now, i hear someone told me that specialist math can scale so much, like if i get 30 raw score then i can get 40 score after the scaling. so that is the most important reason why i choose it. but actully, i am not that type of person who is good at math. i just want to achieve high atar for vce. do you think should i choose it or change to another subject, like futher math...

[@carkmaker]

Monica wang how are you going now? At my school, all of the Specialist students complain about it being very difficult, and the average grade is

is this the same as WACE?

[@firdousqazi6874]

cow key you can do four subjects in year 12 and still get your ATAR score

[@SalamAlAhwal]

You said not to worry about other students. Well, let’s say a student is dreaming of becoming a doctor! They won’t have to worry about other students too? Won’t their score be affected by others? Do they have to join one of the highest ranked schools? Aren’t these schools too expensive? Even if there are a couple of schools which are public, won’t the residences close by be impossible to get or extremely expensive!

Does English have to be in your top 4?

[@sxge4751]

Yes, sadly It’s compulsory

[@Wolfie2TMX]

You just have to get a scaled score of above 50% to pass. It does not need to be in your top 4

[@happylife5361]

i am doing only 5 subjects..is there any prblm for ATAR

[@heartfullyours4349]

Happy Life i don’t believe so? from my knowledge that you will just miss out on an additional score

[@muhamadbhuiyan4726]

Your 5th and 6th subjects just add to your Atar by 10% increments, so you can basically do high school with 4 subjects.
