Students who go unscored do not get an ATAR, the standard way into university.The number of students completing secondary school with an unscored VCE is soaring, with more than one in 10 graduating without an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank last year.
The number is a big jump on the 8.3 per cent of students who completed an unscored VCE in 2020, during the first year of the pandemic. “They don’t want to put themselves through the stress, or they lack the confidence given the interruptions to their learning in the last couple of years,” he said. Many schools do not allow a student to complete their VCE unscored without parental approval. Those who do are still required to complete coursework for their subjects.
“Other students may choose not to undertake assessment when their circumstances make it difficult to complete a scored VCE program, such as illness, mental health concerns or disability.”
