School Certificate abolished (2 Viewers)

It's about time this happened. I just hope that they don't change their word on this.

It makes me feel a bit better that my year wasn't the last to do the pointless SC.

Wait so I don't really get it... They abolished the SC but now they're giving us another test next year (I'm in year 9... BTW)

Err, I thought there wasn't going to be another test. It'll be something for people who want to leave high school after year 10 or when they turn 17.

Yeh. The new credential is only relevant for those leaving before they complete the HSC. If you are going to complete the HSC, you dont have to worry at all about it.

Ah ok thanks guys

it let you get used to exam conditions, external supervisors and the whole student number process

That's basically it but with the school leaving age lifted to 17 there is no more point to it.

just because they dont have a school certificate test doesnt mean there wont be any extra test supplicating the sc test.. suckers think they got out on this one. they be wrong

 

[ianheartsyou]

they'll probs have something equivalent at school, really makes no difference.... but im proud to say i'm the last year to do it
