Year 11 and Year 12 planning
Compare Year 11 Preliminary and Year 12 HSC coverage so practice can match the student's current course stage.
HSC English is structured as a Year 11 Preliminary course followed by the Year 12 course, where final external assessments are completed.
Year 12 (HSC) modules contribute to the final ATAR and include external assessment.
English Standard, Advanced, EAL/D, Extension, and English Studies use module-based structures rather than Units 1–4.
This page focuses on NSW senior English pathways so unseen text interpretation, close analysis, argument and language analysis, comparative reasoning, and writing requirements can be compared clearly across pathways without mixing structures.
