Stage 2 Assessment Type 3: Examination (30%)

The Arabic (continuers) examination consists of two assessments: an oral examination and a written examination that are assessed externally.

  • The oral examination is weighted at 30% of the external assessment.  
  • The written examination is weighted at 70% of the external assessment 

Oral examination
The oral examination takes approximately 15 minutes and has two sections: 

  • Section 1: Conversation (approximately 7 minutes) 
  • Section 2: Discussion (approximately 8 minutes).  

Students complete an In-depth study outline for oral examination form [DOC 1.5MB]. The outline is emailed to askSACE.sa.gov.au by the end of Term 3. The examiners will be provided with hard copies of these forms to refer to during the examination.

All oral examinations are conducted via an online video conferencing platform.  

The complete timetable for oral examinations will be provided to schools in early September. The date of the oral examination will be available on the Arabic (continuers) online calendar.

Written examination
Students undertake one written 135 minute examination, which has three sections: 

  • Section 1: Listening and Responding  
  • Section 2: Reading and Responding  
  • Section 3: Writing in Arabic  

The written examination for Arabic at continuers level is designed by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).
