As part of the examination development process, draft examinations are assessed by teachers who have recent experience teaching the course. The role of an assessor is to provide an independent assessment of the examination paper by evaluating and commenting on it as a subject expert and as an experienced teacher.

Assessment of the 2012 HSC examinations is scheduled to take place between 26 March and 11 May 2012. Although some assessors have already been appointed, there are still vacancies in some courses.

If you have thought about applying to be on an examination committee to write HSC examinations, but feel that you're not quite ready, consider applying to assess the draft HSC examination in your area of expertise. To be eligible you must be an experienced teacher of the course but not teaching Year 12 this year.

Application forms and information are available on the Board's website.
