How Exams Work

On completing all required assignments for a subject you are then entitled to sit for an examination in that subject. Exam application forms will not be accepted until after all assignments have been marked and sent back to the student.
If you pass the exam, you are awarded a pass in that subject, and a Statement of Attainment will be sent from the school acknowledging this.
NOTE: You do not have to do an examination unless you want to! (To gain an official pass however... the exam is necessary).

You sit the exam away from the school at a location which is convenient to you.
To do this the procedure is as follows:

You can sit the exam away from the school at a location which is convenient to you. The procedure is as follows:

This must be a reputable person (such as a police officer, Justice of the Peace, Minister of religion, school principal, tertiary tutor/lecturer, employer or manager of a business or organisation established for more than 5 years, or member of a professional association which has an established code of ethics. Adjudicators cannot be relatives.)
  2. Set a date, time and place for the exam (usually held at the adjudicator's office or a library).
  3. Submit your exam application 4 weeks prior to the nominated date.
  4. We will send the exam to the adjudicator. Ensure you have supplied full and correct address and phone details.
    If we can email the exam to the adjudicator please supply an email address.
