Examinations

There is a WACE examination for each course.

A Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) is calculated using the school assessment and WACE examination results combined.
See TISC for more information.

TAFE selection is based on a range of criteria, including a student’s achievement standards.
See TAFE WA for more information.
