Your VCE experience is about to be dramatically transformed! The education revolution has arrived in the form of vTextbook – a series of video tutorials designed to teach you all the theory, tips and tricks to get you nailing your subjects.

For too many of you, your VCE is characterized by boring teachers, expensive tutors and long days at school. We want this to change. It needs to! That’s why we are launching vTextbook.com with thousands of videos across 12 of the most popular VCE subjects to provide you relevant and interactive tutorials.

You will have the ability to pause (to make notes), stop (for a toilet break/chocolate break/Instagram break), rewind (to repeatedly reinforce difficult concepts) and fast forward (through the boring stuff you already know) at your convenience and learn at your own pace.

We Get It! Our video presenters are young, engaging recent VCE high-achievers who know exactly what it takes to help you get through the year and nail your exams. There is no messing around here.

Best of all, if you hop onto http://www.vtextbook.com right now, you can access hundreds of theory videos FOR FREE. We wanted to make a lasting impact on the quality of education in Victoria for everyone - not just those who pay us money for a product. Thanks to the generous support of our major sponsor, Monash University, we are able to ensure that everyone undertaking the VCE has free access to over 100 hours of extremely high quality video content.

The immense quality of our free theory videos will amaze you and keep you waiting in anticipation for our practice questions and video solution material, arriving shortly within the next couple of weeks. We’ll certainly let you know the moment you can have a go at our state-of-the-art practice system that features statistical ranking of all vTextbook users and gives predictive study scores. How cool is that?!

We are enormously proud of what he have laboured to achieve, and we hope you get a lot out of it. Please give us as much feedback as you can. We want to make vTextbook the greatest possible learning platform and you can help shape that!

Love,
The vTextbook Team

This is amazing. There's simply no other way to put it.
The amount of work and passion that has gone into making this is astounding. No doubt this is going to help countless VCE students (me included) for this year and the years to come.

Huge props to the entire vTextbook team, you guys deserve it.


On another note: Can we purchase the questions with ATARCoin?
Double side note: Next on the agenda - ATARCoin

Just showed this to my Year 12 friend and he is in love with it!! Definitely something I'll be using come next year.

Just on the side, any plans of adding a Biology section? :D

Just for a heads up, the "Complex Numbers" and "Partial Fractions" videos under the Specialist Maths section are swapped around.

This is awesome stuff! :) Out of curiosity, will these videos remain free, or will we eventually have to pay for them?

The videos that are currently up will always remain free (so you've no need to worry in 2017!) and there are more videos (practice questions, explanations, English text-specific stuff, Language Analysis practice etc) that will come at a cost which should prove to be much smaller than their value :)

Just finished watching the video on NHPAs.
This website is such a fantastic idea! Thank you so much to everyone who has worked on it  :)
It's a great alternative to practice questions for study sessions.

My only suggestion would be to have a way to download videos as an mp4 file so people can access them on various devices when they do not have internet. But other than that, I love it!
