School Certificate being scapped.
Edit oh wow i spelt scrapped wrong
So yea. School cert is getting scrapped for another test in 2012. Meaning year 9 people of 2012 will be getting another test not the school cert. I find this kinda stupid cos we won't know whats gonna come up in the tests.

I'm so confused, what are any of these things?
[quote=MrWabbit]This happening in Melbourne?
Edit:
Wait so, you don't have to do this exam for School certificate something in year 10 but instead stay on to finish year 12 and get the HCS certificate thing?
Well, if it happens here, then I'm fine since I'm planning to go Uni [/quote]
We have VCE. None of this HSC stuff. NSW government wants to get complicated.
@iduckkyx3 We still gotta sit a test. Which i have no ideaa what it is gonna be bout.
@AttentionSeeker Yea its not (im in yr 9)
@LEGENDairy Us NSWers have it bad i guess.

I guess this is NSW only since I never heard of it.

They said that my year was going to be the last year doing the school certificate back then...and that was 2007.
Lol Board of Studies.
I'm in Year 9 this year and I do accelerated History and Geography... FML.
Yea.. But they are still replacing it with another test so pretty much same thing.
You guys have a year 10 certificate to sit as well? Naplan in year 9, this certificate thing in year 10, then year 11 and 12 the HSC? Troublesome...
@KamikazeDes Im guess your an American. Its this test you have to do in yr 10.
@Jonzieee Yea i knew that but its good external test practise i guess.
