VCE YEAR 12 EXAMS 2024

SPECIAL EXAMINATION ARRANGEMENTS

If students, because of illness or disability, are unable to complete their VCE examinations in the same way or under the same conditions as other students they can apply to sit their exams under special conditions. 

Special Examination Arrangements enable students to access the

examination questions and communicate their responses in a timed examination. Students are eligible for Special Examination Arrangements if it can be demonstrated that their capacity to access the examination is impaired due to:

• Severe health impairment
• Significant physical disability
• Hearing impairment
• Vision impairment
• Learning disability
• Severe language disorder

Some examples of where students have accessed Special Examination Arrangements in the past

• A student is a diabetic and would like to bring food, drink & medicine into their exams.
• A student suffers from severe migraines and will need to sit their exams in a separate darkened room and have rest breaks.
• A student has a disability that affects the speed at which they write. The student will need more time to complete their exams.

 Applications are submitted from the school and must be accompanied by recent supporting medical or other specialist reports. Some additional testing may be required. If students wish to apply for Special Examination Arrangements for 2024 they should speak with Mr Rigas as soon as possible.
