How it is assessed
English Language follows the 2024-2028 study design and is assessed through Unit 3 and Unit 4 school-assessed coursework and an end-of-year examination, typically with an analytical commentary and an essay.
Scaling and the ATAR
In 2025, English Language had a scaled mean of 32.6. A study score of 30 scaled to 33 and a 40 to 43, above English (28 and 39).
Where marks are lost
The same patterns show up in marked work every year:
- โ Metalanguage named but not linked to function
- โ Commentaries that describe rather than analyse
- โ Essays without current, specific examples
- โ Examples not tied to the essay prompt
- โ Running out of time on the essay
