Students, teachers and parents are invited to visit the Board's SC Test Yourself Website in preparation for the 2009 School Certificate tests.

Here students can test themselves on a selection of multiple-choice questions from past School Certificate tests in English, Mathematics, Science, Australian History, Geography, Civics and Citizenship, and Computing Skills.

Parents and teachers are also encouraged to use the site to better understand the kinds of multiple-choice questions students will be asked in the School Certificate tests. It is important to note that the 2009 School Certificate tests do not include only multiple-choice questions. For specifications about the tests click on the following link: School Certificate tests.

The website is proving to be extremely popular with 109,535 tests completed on the Sunday before the 2008 School Certificate. You can nominate the number of questions you want to attempt and receive immediate results and answers to any questions you answered incorrectly.

Try out your skills and knowledge with questions like this:

Adam earns $5 for the first hour of babysitting and $4 per hour after that. He babysat for n hours. Which expression represents the amount Adam earned?
(a) 9n
(b) 4n + 1
(c) 4n + 5
(d) 5n - 1

All questions are automatically marked and the correct answers are shown at the end of each test.

Multiple choice questions are a part of each School Certificate Test. To find out more, read about the 2009 English-literacy and Science test components.
