Senior secondary assessment methods in the Northern Territory
Student work in the NTCET is assessed through the use of performance standards. The NT uses the South Australian curriculum. SACE subjects are school assessed at Stage 1. The responsibility for assessment at Stage 2 is shared between schools and the SACE Board.
The performance standards, which are provided in each subject outline, describe in detail the level of achievement required to obtain a grade:
- from A to E for Stage 1
- from A+ to E– for Stage 2.
For more information, visit the SACE website
Senior secondary reporting in the Northern Territory
The NT Board of Studies reports final subject grades at Stage 1 using grades from A to E. At Stage 2 the NT Board of Studies reports grade levels from A+ to E–. The subject grades for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 are based on the performance standards described in each subject outline, and are reported on a student’s Record of Achievement.

When a student has fulfilled all of the requirements of the Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training they are awarded the certificate, which includes the student’s name, SACE registration number, date of issue, and is signed by the Chair of the NT Board of Studies.
