Please note: this subject is not moderated at Stage 1.

Moderation is a collaborative process where success is dependent on the partnership between teachers, schools and the SACE Board. All parties are working towards the same objective - the best possible outcomes for young people in their learning.

During moderation, samples of student work are reviewed to make sure the assessment decisions (grades) are consistent with the performance standards for that subject.

Stage 1 moderation confirms that students have met the compulsory Stage 1 requirements of the SACE.

At Stage 1 the English and mathematics subjects, and the Personal Learning Plan (PLP), are moderated. For most schools, only the C and D grades are moderated as the C grade represents the minimum essential grade required in these subjects.
