Bottom line is, getting a 50 is not easy in ANY subject in VCE.

That is not entirely true. There are a few exceptions. These include Japanese, Chinese and basically all other languages offered for VCE. This is why international students come to Victoria, to take advantage of this.

Hmmm... PE seems pretty easy too. And I'm not sure, but wouldn't ESL be easy too for VCE? I used to be in ESL, but got promoted to English (no doubt because of my extreme ability in speaking English). Though if I stayed in ESL, I would have easily got the highest SAC mark and possibly the highest exam mark also for Victoria.


Yes, international students come to Australia to exploit the VCE language system. Not, perhaps, because Australia has one of the best education systems in the world for its price tag, and, not to mention the generally high quality of life offered in Victoria (and, indeed, the rest of Australia).

Furthermore, VOLTMAN, your arrogance is quite unfounded and your proclaimed "success" in English and ESL is difficult to believe considering some of the less than intelligent things you have posted on this forum.

If you are experienced enough in the subject area even before the year begins, then you could get an "easy 50"

Even for Specialist? You LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not that hard to believe that if you know the course already before the year starts then one could assume that it just might be easier to get a 50 in spesh.

Not necessarily, with regards to ESL. One of my friends was from Hong Kong, only had been in Australia for two years, though obviously spoke pretty good english. He would get 9-10/10 on lots of his text responses done in class, but still only got 40 in ESL.

Haha, if you're talking about a scaled 50, I would argue that spesh is the "easiest" subject to do in order to achieve that.

@ the international students thing, some of them don't even end up getting 50 anyway.  A person I know was considered really good at Chinese in China, came here to do Chinese First Language and scored a 44.  There was also a girl at MacRob last year who came over from France and got 46 in French (and 99.95 to boot).  etc.

In terms of "easiest to get 50", I wouldn't say it's Spesh either.  Latin goes to 50 from 35, and if you look at results from elite private schools you'll find that a LOT of kids achieve that in such institutions.

50 isn't easy in any subject. It requires work and effort.

However, I agree that it is easier to get 50 in some subjects than in others, but this is subjective, as different people find different subjects easy.

Generally, if you're very accurate and good with Maths, you could have a shot at 50 in Further.

If you're interested in Sciences and you're good with memorising small details, Psych 50 might be possible.

But you do need to work to get 50...
Raw Scores:
Psychology 50 | Mathematical Methods 49 | Further Mathematics 49 | Accounting 49 | Chemistry 44 | English 43

Maybe the easiest subjects to get 50 in are the ones which have the most 50's - like English.
2009
~ Methods (Non-CAS) [48 --> 49.4]

2010
~ Spesh [50 --> 51.6]
~ Physics [50 --> 50]
~ Chem [43 --> 46.5]
~ English [46 --> 46.2]
~ UMEP Maths [5.0]

2010 ATAR: 99.90
Aggregate 206.8

It's still top 0.2%, it's just that everyone does it.

A 50 really depends largely on luck - what stupid mistakes you make on the day. Personally, I don't think that someone who scored 46 is inherently worse at a subject than a 50 scorer - perhaps if it'd been a slightly different paper or another essay question, the scores would be reversed.
