BOSTES Literacy and Numeracy tests for students planning to leave school before completing the HSC are available between 9am and 4pm on school days throughout the year.

On-demand availability is designed to make it easier to schedule tests close to a student’s leaving date.

The tests focus on the literacy and numeracy skills required by school leavers for employment and further education. They are adaptive so students receive questions that match their level of ability based on their responses.

Students can sit a short demonstration test to familiarise themselves with the look and feel of the tests.

The results are displayed to students immediately on completion, and a test report – to show employers – is available the next day via their Students Online account. The results are also immediately available to teachers, and all test reports are available the next day via Schools Online.

Information on how to enrol for the tests can be found in Schools Online > Online Testing.
