Chinese Continuers Examination

The NSW Higher School Certificate - Suggested Ideas on how to prepare.

The HSC Chinese Continuers examination is a three hour exam that is made up of a 25% listening section, 20% speaking section,  40% reading and responding section and 15% creative writing section.  There is an assessment component that is examined internally in school and the HSC exam is prepared by BOSTES and all students enrolled in the course take the same exam.  You can find details of requirements and past examination papers at the BOSTES site. 

All HSC examinations are rigorous and challenging with the Chinese Continuers course being no exception.  If anything, the Chinese Continuers course has proved demanding for students and much dedication and time is needed to do well in the course.  Recently, I presented a workshop for teachers and students which included resources and suggested examination preparation and strategies.  

Although the presentation was prepared for a particular course, teachers and students may find some worthwhile ideas and strategies to use while preparing for their own courses and examinations.  

The Prezi for the workshop is below.
