The 2024 Higher School Certificate (HSC) exams will come to an end today, as 4,723 students prepare to sit Geography from 9:25am, the last exam for the period.
This year, 71,619 students are set to leave high school with their HSC – the largest cohort in the country and in NSW history. Another 8,547 students, many who are not yet in Year 12, have also now completed at least one HSC course.
Over the past 19 days, over 400,000 unique exam sessions have been successfully carried out - a testament to the preparation of principals, teachers, exam staff and students.
Marking is now underway, with over 5,500 markers assessing more than 9 million pages, ahead of results being released on 18 December.
