This exam is written by experienced Preliminary assessors and teachers. Preliminary ESL does not have prescribed modules or area of study content. The first paper examines an Area of Study. This paper is designed to give practice in reading and viewing and is structured like the actual HSC. The second paper uses general questions to cater for the range of modules chosen by different schools for the ESL Preliminary course. Marking guidelines are also included. Two versions of the paper are available: Word and PDF. The Word version is for a teacher as it can be easily cut and pasted and is copyrighted to use with multiple students. The PDF version is for a student buyer for personal use.
