Remind students to clear their calendar and save the date/s: The 2024 written exam period is from Monday 11 November to Thursday 21 November 2024.

Students are expected to be ready to attend the scheduled exams for Level 3 and 4 courses as they are a necessary part of their assessment for that particular course.

If a student is planning to travel interstate or overseas at the time of the exams, they must see Dayna Dennison at Don for support to request a special exam centre. They must apply before 1 July and be prepared to cover the cost associated with having a special exam centre. Applications are limited to certain circumstances only.

TASC will look at whether it is possible to set up a special exam centre where they will be and any risks to the integrity of the exam paper.

Derived exam ratings are restricted to students experiencing unfortunate and unplanned circumstances, such as being sick, an emergency or other exceptional unexpected circumstances.

TASC has clarified the evidence that needs to be submitted when a student is unexpectedly selected to take part in a recognised National or International sporting, academic or cultural event that will occur at the same time as their exam. This includes that a National or International event is an event that is officially sanctioned and has a limited entry basis where a restricted number of young people represent the State of Tasmania, nation of Australia, or a specific cultural group.

Students must submit an application for a special exam centre if their travel and/or recognised National or International sporting, academic or cultural event attendance is likely to overlap with the two-week written exam period, and the date of their selection for the event is before 1 July (the closing date for special exam centre applications).
