The Senior External Examination is an annually held Queensland examination, serving as a pathway to tertiary study for students who have been away from studies for a long period of time, who left school before attaining their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) or had performed poor in their studies and need to improve their selection rank for university.〔(QTAC - Senior External Examination )〕 In addition, high-school students can follow the examination to partake in subjects not offered by their schools (such as Korean), but they will usually have to find private tuition. Senior External Examination is recognized by the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) and the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC)〔 who together govern high-school subjects and tertiary admission for Queensland. The Senior External Examination is essentially a condensed form of formal year 11 and 12,〔 allowing those eligible to take the examination for credit toward their QCE. The QCE can be awarded on the basis of only the examination if students complete enough subjects. In distinguishing formal education from the Senior External Examination, the examination does ''not'' grant students an overall position (OP) - it uses their results to confer a selection rank only. OPs are generally preferable to university admission as they test not only academic performance but also their performance relative to the school. ==Workload== The subject requirements vary depending on student circumstances. For example, a student who has had no formal year 11&12 education or did not complete the final year of high-school must complete 3-5 subjects, determined by age. It is decided by each of the tertiary institutes' how many subjects are to be studied to be accepted.〔 Technically, the Senior External Examination is not an educational program but an assessment. There are schools designed for it but enrollment is not compulsory to be eligible. There is no governing of who teaches subjects, and students may have to find private tutors for most of the subject syllabi. Senior External Examination programs are typically done over the course of a year. In fact, many of the subjects available are not taught at registered schools (such as Modern Greek and Geography) but students may opt for these subjects and learn them by self-directed study or private tutoring. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Senior External Examination」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
