VCE HIGH PERFORMANCE TUTORING Exam Preparation Program (EPP) VCE English Units 3 & 4: Timetable Dear Parents & Guardians, The VCE English Unit 3 & 4 EPP combines three intents consistently across the 16 week program: strong content revision; explicit exam technique; and regular examstyle application under timed conditions. Each session is designed to revise key knowledge, and to help students improve how they interpret questions, structure responses, argument development, analysis of textual evidence and strategies to avoid common exam errors. The timetable herein contains a macro summary of each workshop and tutorial focus. The structure is intentionally flexible; to enable adjustment to include chosen texts and to sort students into the appropriate study groups. The lead educator will also assess student strengths, weaknesses and school progress in more detail to then curate future workshop, and tutorials accordingly. Across the program, the lead educator and tutor incorporate proven study techniques and strategies of high performing English ATAR students, including analytical response, creating texts, and analysis of argument and language. The overarching objective of the VCE EPP is to build the students’ confidence, accuracy and exam readiness over time, so that by the final weeks they are not just revising content but performing strongly under VCE exam conditions.
