Results services for schools
Schools can find out more about their schools' HSC results with the results analysis package. Find out how principals can lodge an anomalous results inquiry.
Schools Online
Principals and delegates can access their students' HSC results on results day via their Schools Online account.
NESA also provides the following services for principals and teachers.
Results Analysis Package
Both principals and teachers can access the results analysis package (RAP).
The package includes extensive data about students' performances. This data can be used to target areas for further development in teaching and learning, helping the next group of students. Learn more about what's in the RAP and how to use it.
Anomalous Results Inquiries
Anomalous Results Inquiries (ARI) are for school principals only.
Where performance is below expectations, a principal may seek an explanation of results in any HSC course by submitting an ARI. The inquiry may be related to an individual student or a group of students in a course.
Each inquiry is thoroughly investigated by NESA officers and, where appropriate, supervisors of marking. The inquiry does not involve the re-marking of any examinations, nor is it an avenue for appeal.
The ARI service closes on the last working day in February.
Before commencing an ARI, principles should take the following steps:
- If the inquiry involves an individual student, contact the student to determine if they encountered any issues in the examination.
- If the inquiry involves a group of students, first review their results using the RAP to try and find an explanation for the results. The item analysis function can help you identify which question the students did not answer as expected.
- If the inquiry involves a moderation issue, consider the following information about moderation.
For help interpreting the RAP or moderation issues, contact the Quality in Credentialling Unit on (02) 9367 8158.
If the results still appear anomalous, principals may email an inquiry to ari@nesa.nsw.edu.au. Include relevant student names and numbers, and the reason for the inquiry.
