If you are sitting any external assessments this year, your school will receive a printed copy of the Student Exam Guide to give to you at the start of Term 4.
An electronic copy of the 2024 Student Exam Guide is also available. The Exam Guide covers the essential information you need to prepare for your end-of-year exams and assessments.
The guide outlines key dates for the external assessment process, the course deadlines for externally assessed folios and other project work and the exam timetables. There is also information about assessment rules, processes for medical certificates/emergencies, and receiving results and certificates.
The 2024 edition of the guide includes:
- Changes to the TASC Medical Certificate process this year. There are now separate forms for the student and their medical practitioner to complete.
- Making you aware of a new student resource about How to answer written exam questions and understand exam marking. This includes the type of response you need to provide to receive any marks and what you should do if you think there is an exam error.
- Setting yourself up for success by knowing what to expect, having the personal supplies you need and using the Tips for staying CALM during exams so you stay in a positive headspace during an exam.
