But they cannot receive the HSC credential.

Students in Year 10 do not need to achieve the minimum standard to choose a subject they will study in stage 6.

Practice tests are available for students to sit at school to help them become familiar with the online test structure. There are also online samples of tests and writing specimens that show the standard required. Students can use these to prepare for the tests.

Students will have four opportunities per year to sit the minimum standard online tests in each area of Reading, Numeracy and Writing, in Years 10, 11 and 12. Students will also have up to 5 years from the time they start the HSC courses to sit the minimum standard online tests. The tests must be administered by schools via a lockdown browser.

Disability provisions and exemptions: Students with additional learning needs may be eligible for extra provisions for the minimum standard online tests or be exempt from meeting the HSC minimum standard in order to receive their HSC.  Students taking four or more Life Skills courses can be exempt from meeting the HSC minimum standard. Students studying Life Skills English will be exempt from the Reading and Writing minimum standard tests. Students studying Life Skills maths will be exempt from the Numeracy minimum standard test.
