The Board is continuing to expand the use of personalised examination materials that are pre-printed with the student’s student number, centre number and, generally, the student’s name and school.
Personalised examination material reduces work for students during the examination, and allows greater efficiency in identification when it is scanned for processing and onscreen marking.
Depending on the examination, students may be given some or all the following:
- a personalised multiple-choice answer sheet
- a personalised question/answer booklet
- a personalised writing booklet.
For the 2013 HSC examinations, the examinations listed below will have personalised question/answer booklets and/or personalised writing booklets.
