In this resource megaguide, we’ve listed a whole heap of resources you might find useful in your VCE English studies. 💯
If you’re keen to subscribe to our regular VCE newsletter and stay on top of all of our VCE resources, your best bet is to make an ATAR Notes account:
VCE ENGLISH RESOURCES | NOTES
A great place to start for VCE study is our range of free notes! Generously uploaded by those who have come before you, these notes are by students, for students.
For English 3&4 notes specifically, go here. Note that you will need to be logged in to your ATAR Notes account to download the notes – otherwise you’ll just be met with a blank screen!
When the time comes, it would be amazing if you could upload your own notes, too – even through the year!
VCE ENGLISH RESOURCES | LECTURE SLIDES
Also uploaded to our free notes section are all of our VCE English 3&4 lecture slides from previous free lectures. These lectures are specifically designed to not only provide an overview of the course material, but also give tips and tricks from a recent graduate high-achiever.
To download the English lecture slides, go here (and remember, you need to be logged in!).
VCE ENGLISH RESOURCES | REVISION VIDEOS
If you’re keen on study videos, you’re in luck! We also have a series of excellent revision videos on concepts you can brush up on. Here’s the very first video in the series:
