Title: Doing 4 maths in VCE
Post by: Shad on January 22, 2013, 11:48:42 am
So i have done further maths in year 11 and didn't do to good, and am also going to do spesh, methods and UMEP maths this year.
However i have heard that only 2 maths can be on your top 4 (which i am fine with ) but also heard that out of the four maths subjects one will be ignored completely.
Is this true ?

from one of the publications by vtac:
There are some restrictions on how certain combinations of studies may
be counted for your ATAR.
In each of the study areas of English, mathematics, history, information
technology, languages other than English and music:
• at most two results can contribute to the Primary Four
at most three results can contribute to the ATAR, the third being
counted as a 10% increment for a fifth or sixth study

This includes Higher Education studies also. So, if your ATAR incorporates
a Higher Education study increment from any of the study areas listed
above, then at most two VCE ATAR subject scores and/or VET increments
from that study area may be used

so yeah, one of your subjects won't be counted
