Exams and results
If you’re sitting a final exam throughout the year, it’s important to know what to expect before the day.
Below you’ll find guidance on how to prepare, what happens during an exam, and where to go for support.
Exams can be scheduled at any time within the official exam period. All exams are scheduled in Australian Central Standard Time (ACST). You are required to sit the primary or deferred exam at the scheduled date, time and location. Planned holidays, special events or regular work commitments are not valid reasons for rescheduling.
