Students taking minimum standard online tests this term.
We are enrolling a number of Year 10 students in this term’s minimum standard online tests. The tests allow our students to demonstrate they meet the HSC minimum standard, which is required to receive the Higher School Certificate from 2020.
There are three tests the students must pass to achieve the HSC minimum standard – reading, writing and numeracy. Students have two opportunities a year to meet the standard in each of these areas, from Year 10 until a few years after Year 12.
We will also be enrolling Year 10 students in practice tests so they can get used to the online test format and we can assess whether they are ready to take the tests.
Go to the NESA website to:
- understand what to expect in these tests
- see sample questions and answers
- take a demonstration test.
