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
Variations
Refer to syllabus verification and post-verification requirements
Refer to the syllabus assessment section
Refer to the school’s approved work program
Refer to the school’s approved work program
How does the school’s assessment program differ from syllabus requirements?
Verification requirements
A minimum of four instruments and a maximum of six instruments from Year 12 only including: one extended marine
investigation (EMI) or action research assessing all three dimensions
one supervised extended response test
