university standard and will also attract a study score, rather than an increment like extension studies. Monash and Melbourne unis have also just confirmed that if a student successfully completes VCE Algorithmics (Higher Education Scored Study), they will
get two first-year subject credits in particular degrees (the specific text is below).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
