WACE ATAR English exam-day checklist
Prepare for comprehending, responding and composing, and check your personalised timetable and equipment.
By ATARMAxxing · Updated
What should you check before the exam?
Confirm your personalised timetable and use the current SCSA handbook to check permitted items. The 2025 paper listed standard stationery and no special items. Use the instructions for your own sitting when packing.
How can you approach the paper?
The 2025 paper separated comprehending, responding and composing. Keep the task distinctions clear: analyse unseen material, use a relevant studied text for the responding task, and select a form and voice that suit the composing prompt.
What should you check before you finish?
Check that your response is numbered and in the correct place. If you use supplementary pages, follow the booklet instructions for indicating where the response continues.
