BOSTES is continuing to expand the use of personalised examination materials that are pre-printed with the centre number, the student's number, and generally, the student's name.
Personalised examination material reduces work for students during the examination, and allows greater efficiency in identification when scanned for processing and onscreen marking.
Depending on the examination, students may be given:
- a personalised multiple-choice answer sheet
- a personalised question/answer booklet
- a personalised writing booklet.
For 2016 HSC examinations, the examinations listed below will have new or revised personalised question/answer booklets and/or personalised writing booklets.
