Legal Studies judged a success
Nearly 4000 more students penned their final HSC exam for 2010 today - the Board wishes them well in the future.
Meanwhile, the response to today's Legal Studies exam saw teachers call the paper 'straightforward', 'fair' and 'accessible'. Students answered general questions on Law and Society as well as specific questions on their focus studies, which cover legal topics such as Consumers, Family, Global Environment, Indigenous Peoples, Shelter, Technological Change, Workplace or World Order.
More than 52,000 students are still to complete their exams. Tomorrow's largest group will appear for the Economics paper (6201 students) in the morning, followed by Community and Family Studies (5845), Engineering Studies (1841) and the 97 Latin Extension students in the afternoon.
