NSW Higher School Certificate: an overview
The HSC is the NSW senior qualification awarded by NESA. Your school assessments and the written HSC exams in October–November each make up half of every course mark, and UAC turns your results into an ATAR. Notenix gives you exam-style practice for Mathematics Advanced, Extension 1, Extension 2 and the sciences, so trials and the HSC feel familiar.
