HSC Minimum Standard Online Tests

From 2020, NSW students must show they have met minimum standards in reading, writing and numeracy to receive their HSC certificate. Literacy and numeracy skills will be an online assessment for students in Years 10, 11 and 12.

Students who haven’t met the standards before the HSC can still receive their results and Record of School Achievement (RoSA), just not the HSC certificate. They are also able to sit the minimum standard tests after the HSC to be eligible for their certificate. 

Special provisions are available for students with disability. Contact your child's school for more information.
