Units needed for VCE certificate

[vecece]

Hi,

I am new to atarnotes and I am not sure to post this in the right section. If it is the case, sorry about that

In year 11, I completed the following subjects (unit 1&2): EAL, methods, economics, media, business.
Then this year in year 12 (unit 3&4), I did: EAL, methods, business and legal.


Is there the right amount of unit completed to get a vce certificate?

Also, something happened during the year which affected enormously my methods performance, is it possible to get a UG in the final exam?
and if yes, will I still be able to get my certificate?

Thank you very much

Hi there Yeah, you've completed the necessary amount of units to get the VCE. Your school would have brought it up if it was an issue.

RE: your methods performance - yeah, you can still get your certificate even if you do nothing in your exams. If it's an issue that has come up during your exams you can potentially apply for a DES (derived exam score) - I'd recommend speaking to your school (either your year 12 coordinator or vce coordinator) about that.

As long as you meet the unit requirements and get an S (satisfactory) for units 3 and 4, then you qualify for the VCE. Exams and the ATAR that is subsequently calculated only function to give you a rank.

Thank you K888. Just another quick question. On you statement if you "do nothing in the methods exams" what will be next to it? a UG??

Not sure tbh. I'd imagine you'd just get a study score that's low seeing as your SAC performance will also come into play for your marks.

Just wanted to add on to K888's response. Some of the details of a DES can be found here, including how to go about applying for one.

EDIT: Just realised you asked a similar question here. You can refer to that post for a couple more details.
