A minimum standard of literacy and numeracy is required for students to receive their Higher School Certificate (HSC). Meeting the HSC minimum standard will mean that your child has the literacy and numeracy skills that are essential for success in learning and life after school.
There are three 45-minute online tests:
a multiple choice reading test
a multiple choice numeracy test
a short writing test based on a choice between a visual or written prompt
Testing periods are offered each term for eligible students in years 10,11 and 12. Students may sit each test twice in each calendar year.
Students with Disabilities
Some students with disabilities will be eligible for extra provisions for the minimum standard online tests, or an exemption from the HSC minimum standard requirement.
The Wellbeing team and learning support staff will determine whether students are eligible for provisions.
