Commonly made grammatical/spelling mistakes
Kanon:
Not sure if this is where this is suppose to be, but for VCE is any preference given to American vs British/Australian spelling of words like organise/organize? I've always felt spelling words with an 's' was classier :P
Starlight:
Recieve instead of receive. This might only be me who does this though.

At least for VCE English, you are being assessed in part on your ability to follow the "rules" of standard Australian English. So yes you need to use -s- where possible, which is a good thing for you :)

Just a note that lots of these questions relate to style guides for writing (e.g. where to place commas or quotation marks), and have nothing to do English grammar.
For words ending in 'ise'/'ize', the latter is the *Oxford* spelling.
My pet hate: treating 'data' as a plural.

I've made it my sole mission in life to correct the usage of 'and me', 'me and' + 'and I' of as many people as possible.
