Examination Date and Location

The ACER examination will be held at Christ Church on Saturday 8 May 2010 from 8.45am to 12.00 noon. A boy may also sit the test at a designated regional or overseas centre.

Examination Results

A Co-operative Scholarship Testing Report with general information on the candidate’s performance will be posted to parents. ACER has made it a condition of sitting this examination that actual scores, or order of merit, are not to be communicated to students or parents.

The examination results are made available to Christ Church at the beginning of June 2010. The Headmaster will compile a shortlist of candidates who will then be contacted for interview. The decision to award a scholarship or bursary will be made as quickly as possible after the interview.
