Year 12 Mock Exams

The Assessment Calendar notes that Year 12 students will participate in Mock Exams in the final weeks of Term 3. Mock Exams will be held for all General Subjects to help students in their preparations for the External Examinations. We encourage Year 12 students to ensure they try their best in these Mock Exams to they can receive valuable feedback prior to the External Assessments. The purpose of these mock exams is to help students:

revise and test subject knowledge;
familiarise students with the language of external assessment, the types of questions that might be asked and the expected length of responses;
enable students to experience external assessment conditions and practise relevant skills;
build students’ confidence and ability in sitting exams.
