Standards Packages
The Board of Studies reports student achievement in the School Certificate tests in relation to standards. Students receive marks that relate to performance bands, where each band is described in a statement summarising the knowledge, skills and understanding typically demonstrated by students who have achieved that standard.
Standards packages have been produced by the Board of Studies to illustrate the standards established in the School Certificate tests. They contain the performance band descriptions and an outline of the standards-setting process, certain key statistical reports, and samples of responses typically produced by students whose achievements place them on the borderline between two bands. Where possible, there are ‘exemplar’ student responses, which are examples of responses that were awarded full marks. The test paper, marking guidelines and the syllabus for the related course are also included.
