The full per-subject timetable
External written exams are set and marked by the SACE Board and count towards your Stage 2 results. Northern Territory students sit the identical exams under the NTCET, at NT session times (8:00am / 12:30pm) rather than South Australia's (9:00am / 1:30pm). Many language exams are listed on the official timetable as 'date to be advised'.
For the exact date and time of each subject’s exam, check the official SACE Board exam timetable.
