VCE UNIT 3 FAILED

[Baekhyunee]

hey just wanted to know but what happens if you failed unit 3 from getting below 40-50% in SACS? do i still have a chance to pass unit 4 and get an atar at the end of the year or will it be compulsory for me to repeat year 12?

You shouldn't fail Unit 3 based on 40-50% SACs. If you do manage to fail a SAC, you should (in most cases) be given an opportunity to complete a redemption task. You only fail a unit if you have formally been given an N for the Unit and that has been sent to VCAA.

Schools try not to give students N grades for units unless it's an absolute last resort. Usually this involves a meeting/parental involvement.

Oh, thank you for the information!
Say you do get an N for the Unit, would you possibly know what would happen then?

Well, it may or may not impact your ability to get your VCE. If it's English, you're in a bit of trouble. If not, you may be OK. Just don't get too many (refer below).

What do I have to do to achieve my VCE?

To achieve your VCE you must successfully complete 16 units including:

    three units from the English group, two of which must be a Unit 3 and 4 sequence.
    at least three additional Unit 3 and 4 sequences.

Your teacher can explain the differences between the English group studies, or you can find out more about them on the VCAA website.

You can complete the remaining units, including the three sequences at Unit 3 and 4 level, in any study that interests you. This could even be an additional English group study on top of the units you take to meet the minimum English requirement.

Your teacher determines if you have satisfactorily completed a unit based on the work you produce and submit and your adherence to VCAA and school rules.
