Professional teacher associations are able to produce a ‘good answer’ publication of selected  ATAR course examination responses to assist teachers and students with their preparation for examinations.

Process

  1. The Association must complete an application for permission to use School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) materials. This will cover the use of some ATAR course examination questions but not any quotes, pictures, text etc. in the examination for which the Authority has had to gain copyright. This application must be received by the Authority by 3 December.
  2. If the application is successful, the Association is sent a licence agreement which outlines the terms of the agreement. The Association must sign and return the licence agreement.
  3. If the application is successful, representatives of the Association will be provided access to the candidate scripts through the Principal Consultant – Written Examinations, Gloria Richmond on 9273 6732 or gloria.richmond@scsa.wa.edu.au. This must be completed no later than 25 February.
  4. The Authority seeks permission from the candidates of selected scripts on behalf of the Association to use their examination response. The Authority will give the Association a list of candidates who have given permission for their examination response to be included in the publication (approx. three weeks after the Association has selected the candidate scripts).
  5. The Association creates the ‘good answer’ publication and submits a copy to the Authority for approval prior to publication.
  6. If referring to any Authority course, examination or document within the resource, the Association must use the correct official title as per the Authority website. For example, the course must be referred to as Year 12 English ATAR course or the marking key is English ATAR course examination 2021 marking key.
  7. The confidentiality of all information relating to the examinations must be respected and must not be used for personal gain or benefit. All work remains the property of the Authority.
