WACE EXAM REQUIREMENTS
Year 12 students enrolled in a pair of stage 2 or
Stage 3 course units must sit the WACE examination
in that course, unless exempt.
If they do not sit, or do not make a genuine attempt in
this WACE examination, the grades for the pair of
units completed in that year will not contribute to the
calculation of the C grade average requirement, but
still count in the breadth and depth requirement.
