Senior Secondary

Examination information

The Curriculum Council sets, administers and marks external examinations for WACE courses.

The examinations are conducted at the end of each year, with the written examinations starting on the first working day in November and the practical (performance) examinations held during week one of the Term 3 holidays and continuing into the beginning of Term 4.  The examination schedule is determined by the end of July and circulated to students.

The Curriculum Council establishes examination centres in which each written examination is conducted at the same time, under uniform conditions by trained supervisors.  The rules of conduct are published in a handbook, which is distributed to all examination candidates and schools in May.  Any variation to standard exam conditions must be approved by the Curriculum Council through its special provisions processes.

Each enrolled examination candidate receives a personalised examination timetable which gives details about the time, date and location of each examination in which they are enrolled.  These are distributed through schools at the end of Term 3.
