Important Information for VCE VM Students and Families – GAT 2025

All Year 12 VCE VM students (including Sport Academy) based at Bundoora will sit the General Achievement Test (GAT) on Tuesday 17 June at the Greening Auditorium, Bundoora Campus.

VCE VM students who are not enrolled in any VCE or scored VCE VET Unit 3–4 sequences will only complete Section A of the test. This section assesses literacy and numeracy through a two-part writing task.

The GAT plays a crucial role by enabling students to demonstrate that they meet the Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Standards required at the senior secondary level. No special study is needed, past learning in Literacy and Numeracy will support students in completing the test. Each student will receive a GAT Statement of Results, which will indicate whether they have met the literacy and numeracy standards.

For further details, please refer to official communication from the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).
