Year 11 & 12 Exams
Attached is a copy of the VCE Exam Timetable. Your child should have already received a copy of this.
If students do not have an exam on a particular day they are not required to be at school, however, students are more than welcome to study at school. Students must be in school uniform when sitting exams.
All Year 11's and Year 12's completing a Year 12 subject are required to attend the
GAT exam on Wednesday, June 11. Practice GATs and exams are available online
at http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/pages/vce/exams/examsassessreports.aspx
Some Brief Exam Hints Students completing exams should keep the following in mind:
• If a theory question is worth two marks be sure you make two distinct points, particularly if
it is asking for an explanation.
• Read the question carefully and make sure you answer the question that is asked. Many
students miss out on valuable marks as they did not provide the required answer.
• If you do come across a question that looks similar to what has appeared in previous
exams, proceed with caution. Read the question very carefully as it is quite likely that
the requirements or answers being sought are different from what was asked in previous
years.
• On a final note, sit two VCAA examination papers under examination conditions before
the actual exam so that you can determine the speed at which you need to work at.
