This article provides an overview of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the senior secondary qualification in Victoria, Australia. It includes information on the release of results, the appeals process, and the various study opportunities available to students who complete the VCE. 

It is a simple guide for students and parents seeking to understand the VCE and the opportunities it provides.

VCE Exam Results 2023, Appeal Process and Study Opportunies



When does VCE result 2023 come out?

The timeline for the marking and releasing of VCE results typically takes around 6 to 8 weeks. This process involves several stages, including the following:

  • End-of-year exams: Exams are typically held in November and can last several weeks.
  • Marking: Once exams are completed, they are sent to markers who evaluate each student's performance. This stage can take 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Quality assurance: After marking, results undergo quality assurance processes to ensure accuracy and consistency. This stage typically takes 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Release of results: Finally, results are released to students, schools and tertiary institutions. This typically occurs in mid-December.

In total, from the end of exams to the release of results, the VCE marking and release process takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks.


How to check the VCE results when released

To check VCE results when they are released, students can follow these steps:

  • Log in to their VCAA account: Students can access their results by logging into their VCAA account using their personal login details.

  • Check with school: Alternatively, students can check their results by speaking with their school. Schools typically receive results from the VCAA and may provide students with a copy of their results.

It is important to note that students should only access their own results and not attempt to access the results of others. The VCAA takes privacy and security seriously and students who breach this may face consequences.


VCE Results Appeal Process

If a student is not satisfied with their VCE exam results, they have the option to appeal the marks. The appeals process is managed by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). Here is the general process for appealing VCE exam results:

  • Submit an Appeal Application: To start the appeals process, the student must submit an Appeal Application to the VCAA. This form can be obtained from the VCAA website or from the student's school. The application must be submitted within 30 days of the release of results.
  • Supporting evidence: The student must provide supporting evidence to the VCAA to support their appeal. This may include a detailed explanation of their concerns with the marking, along with additional evidence such as their own notes and additional materials.
  • Assessment of Appeal: The VCAA will assess the appeal and determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a review of the original marking. If the VCAA determines that a review is necessary, a new marker will be appointed to reassess the student's work.
  • Outcome of Appeal: After the review is complete, the VCAA will notify the student of the outcome of their appeal. If the original mark is upheld, the student may have the option to seek a review from the Victorian Ombudsman.

The appeals process can take several weeks or even months to complete, and there is no guarantee that the outcome will be in the student's favour. Therefore, students should carefully consider their options before deciding to pursue an appeal.


Study opportunities are taking VCE

Completing the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) in Victoria, Australia opens up a range of study opportunities for students. Some of these include:

  • Private Colleges: Private colleges offer a range of courses, including vocational and English language courses.

  • Apprenticeships and Traineeships: Students who complete the VCE can also apply for apprenticeships and traineeships, which provide practical, on-the-job training in a range of industries.
  • Work: Some students choose to enter the workforce directly after completing the VCE. Many employers recognize the VCE as a valuable qualification and may offer opportunities for career progression.

The study opportunities available to students who complete the VCE will depend on their individual interests, abilities, and career goals. 

Students should seek advice from their school, career advisor, or tertiary education provider to determine the best path for them.

How to Make Money Online While at Secondary School and University

Young people today have opportunities that many in the past did not have - access to the Internet, social media and computers for example. 

In fact, with access to the Internet and technology comes lots of opportunities too. 

There are many ways to use the internet to improve your life.

3 powerful ways to bring out the best in you

Here are three powerful ways to bring out the best in you. Say no to the wasted and lazy times. Starve your distraction. Feed your focus. 

Start with these and you'll position yourself in a comfortable position to win after school life.

1. Read

Picking up a book is the hard part. When you have actually picked up the book and read it, you would not want to put it down. That is where the adventure starts.

You go on new and exciting adventures every time you read. Challenge yourself to read one or two books every term. 

2. Write

One way to showcase your creativity is to write. 

Writing is a skill not many people develop early. It takes time and effort to stitch together sentences, paragraphs and articles. Like many things, developing writing skills needs practice. 

Use Social Media and free blogs and be creative. 

Avoid slang. Write in full sentences. Write about things you are *passionate* about. 

Your passion will bring the best out of you. You'll enjoy every moment of writing for a long time.

Your first true writing will not be the final. You'll go on and create amazing and inspiring work. So start now. Find out about how to Create a Blog here.

3. Make money

Learn how to make money early. If you know how to make money at Secondary School or university and perfect the skill at doing it, you'll go on to become a successful person after school.

In fact, you do not have to work for someone else.

Many people start early at school or university and become successful along the way.

What It Means to Be in NOAS National Admission Pool (2024 Grade 12 Selections for 2025)

The Grade 12 students in PNG can check their NOAS selection status to find out if they have been selected in one of their five choices. The 2024 Grade 12 Selections for the 2025 academic year - NOAS Status Check - will be live after the Launch of Selection. That is when the Grade 12 School Leavers selection and Non-school Leavers will know the selection status, and find out if they are in NOAS National Admission Pool. But, what does that mean?

Do not fret. NOAS is an effective system that gives you a second chance. It also assists you to 're-adjust' your choices for the spaces available in the NOAS National Admission Pool. Use it before the final acceptance list PDFs are published.

Grade 12 Selections 2024 for 2025 -selection list PDF


DHERST NOAS National Admission Pool

It is important to confirm your selection to a higher institution as soon as you can. If you are not selected in one of your five choices, you may be put in the admission pool. 

If you are a student on DHERST's admission pool, you'll have to log in to your National Online Selection Account between now and before the academic year 2025 starts to see if you have been offered a placement at a university or college in PNG.

Students in the admission pool have to hope that they are considered for 6,000+ spaces, formally called quotas.

So, keep checking to see if you are one of the lucky ones from the admission pool admitted to a university or college.

Questions about Grade 12 Selections 2024

Here are some questions PNG Insight receives about selections, GPA and Admission Pool for Tertiary Institutions in PNG. We pick three common questions that many students ask and put answers to them.

Important: Note that the answers are based on experience over the years, intended to give clarity to the questions. It is in no way formal advice.
Q. I am not selected and I was put in an admission pull, will the DHERST select me according to my choices?
Brief answer: If you are in the DHERST Admission Pool, it means that you are likely to be considered IF there is a space available in the institution of your choice. Also, your GPA has to be higher than the other students in the pool to maximise your chance of being selected.

Q. I got a GPA of 2.6 and I was not selected by any of those five institutions where I should have been selected because I know that the nursing school's in the country have a minimum GPA of 2.4 and above. Why can't a GPA of 2.6 can be also selected?
Brief answer: Your GPA doesn't automatically guarantee you a selection to one of your 5 choices. Though it is the main selection criteria, there must be a spot available for you to be selected. Also, there are other students who may have a GPA above 2.6 applying to the same institutions or they may have made your second choice their first choice. They have the advantage over you. In the meantime, login to your NOAS Student Account before the academic year starts to confirm your final selection status from the Admission Pool.

Q. My GPA is 2.4 and yet I applied for teachers colleges in PNG that require a current GPA of 2.4 and above. Why I am not selected with such a GPA?
Brief answer: The current GPA of 2.8 for teachers' college is the threshold which is the borderline GPA. If you have a GPA close to the borderline GPA, you are last in the queue during the actual selection and also last in the queue in the Admission Pool. It's sad but true. Those students who have GPAs higher than the threshold with first-choice preference have a higher chance of being selected than those sitting at the borderline GPA.

Grade 12 Selections 2025 NOAS Status Check

As you read the three questions, you may have realised that the best thing to do is to get the five choices on NOAS right - spot on.

For now, if you are in DHERST Admission Pool, make sure you check your status regularly to see if there are any changes to your selection status. 

Also, check the final lists that come out on the DHERST website. 

The institution you apply to will publish its acceptance lists. You may want to check that too.

All in all, your NOAS student account is the right place to confirm your selection. If you have any questions about selections, please leave a comment below.
