SAM Subjects 2008

The SSABSA curriculum statement, external examinations, and quality control of school assessment components ensure the necessary educational grounding and preparation for future rigorous academic study.

The S•A•M subjects lead to a variety of university courses, depending on student choice. Students may take the necessary subjects in one year, but there is flexibility for students to complete it over several years. Students may also increase their university aggregate score by repeating subjects in a second year without penalty.

To qualify for the SACE and to meet tertiary entrance rank (TER) requirements, students must complete five subjects, including one subject from List 1 and at least one subject from List 2. In addition, students must achieve a satisfactory score (10/20 or better) in either English as Second Language Studies, or English Studies.
