How school works in the ACT, from NAPLAN to the ACT Senior Secondary Certificate, and when tutoring helps most.
How the ACT senior certificate works
Years 11 and 12 in the ACT are usually studied at a college. Courses are set by the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS), and there are no external subject exams. Every unit is assessed by the college, so each assignment, test and presentation counts toward the final result.
To compare results across colleges, Year 12 students sit the ACT Scaling Test (AST). Scores in T courses are moderated and scaled, then used to calculate the ATAR. A courses count toward the ACT Senior Secondary Certificate but not the ATAR.
- BSSS
- Courses, assessment rules and the certificate
- T courses
- Count toward an ATAR
- A courses
- Count toward the certificate only
Key dates in the ACT school year
ACT schools run four terms. NAPLAN is sat in March in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, and results are reported in four levels: Exceeding, Strong, Developing and Needs additional support. That gives a clear read on where your child sits against the national standard.
- Term 1NAPLAN in March for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9
- Term 2Semester 1 assessment tasks at college
- Term 3The AST for Year 12, and Year 10 course selections
- Term 4Final Year 12 assessment tasks
Choosing college courses
Students choose college courses in Year 10, and colleges differ in what they offer, so it pays to compare. For an ATAR, the focus is T courses. Pick courses your child can do well in, since every unit counts, then check prerequisites for the university courses they are considering.
- Essential Mathematics
- A course, everyday maths
- Mathematical Applications
- T course, statistics and finance
- Mathematical Methods
- T course, calculus and functions
- Specialist Mathematics
- T course for the strongest maths students
When do families usually start?
Most families start when a subject begins to feel hard, rather than the week before a test. In primary school that is often reading, spelling or times tables. In high school it is usually Year 7, when algebra and essay writing arrive, or Year 10, before senior course choices.
In Year 12 there is no final exam to make up for a weak semester, so steady work through every unit matters. Lessons prepare for each assignment and test as it comes. Before the AST, lessons add practice with its mix of multiple choice, short answers and an extended writing task.
- Weekly
- This week’s class work first, then one weak spot
- Before each test
- A timed practice set and a review
- Final term
- Past papers, marked and talked through in the lesson
