What Is a SAC in VCE? School-Assessed Coursework
A SAC is school-assessed coursework. Your VCE study design specifies which tasks count, what they assess and how much they contribute to the study’s graded assessment.
What a SAC assesses
A SAC checks how well you can apply the knowledge and skills in a study-design outcome. The task can be a written response, a practical investigation or another format specified for the study.
How a SAC contributes to a study score
A Unit 3 or 4 coursework score is one component of a scored study where the design specifies SACs. VCAA statistically moderates school-based scores to make them comparable across schools. Check the assessment weighting for your particular study.
What to check before the task
Ask your teacher for the outcome, conditions and assessment criteria. Practise applying the criteria to a similar task and use the feedback to target the next session.
