The purpose of this audit tool is to enable schools to compare the requirements of their assessment program with the minimum assessment requirements of the syllabus, and to subsequently consider possible amendments to their school work program.
Assessment instruments required in Year 12 (including objectives and dimensions assessed)
Conditions required by the syllabus, e.g. word length, time, genre
School assessment instruments (including objectives and dimensions assessed)
Conditions in school work program

Refer to the syllabus assessment section
Refer to the schools approved work program
Refer to the schools approved work program
How does the schools assessment program differ from syllabus requirements?
