Pattern of study
Last updated:
NESA is authorised under section 12 of the Education Act 1990 (NSW) to advise the Minister on a pattern of study for Years 11 and 12.
- NESA’s pattern of study is the combination of Preliminary and HSC courses studied by students for the award of the HSC. NESA has structured its pattern of study to ensure that students study a broad range of Preliminary and HSC courses.
- The pattern includes the:
- number of units to be studied, and
- sequence in which the courses will be taught.
