The ACE 2.1.2 rule change allows schools to develop assessment schedules to suit their school context.
Schools can continue to follow NESA’s assessment settings for number, type and weighting of each course, as provided in the course-specific Assessment and Examination information that is released with each syllabus.
Schools must notify NESA through Schools Online if they use this flexibility. This will involve completing an additional checkbox in Schools Online when Year 12 final assessment marks are submitted.
The new ACE rules come into effect 14 October 2024.
