Assessment Certification Examination (ACE)

The Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) is a framework established by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA) that outlines the policies and procedures for the assessment, certification, and examination processes in NSW schools.  

This framework governs the administration of the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and ensures that assessments and examinations are conducted fairly and consistently across the state.
