More than 13,000 South Australian students are sitting their final SACE exams this week, beginning with Mathematical Methods and General Mathematics today. The main exam period runs for the next ten days and will conclude with Geography and Music Studies on November 14.
Exams are being held at 202 school sites, including 93 in regional South Australia. The most popular subjects this year include General Mathematics, Biology, Mathematical Methods and Psychology. Students are undertaking a mix of written, electronic and oral assessments that form part of their South Australian Certificate of Education.
Education Minister Blair Boyer reflected on his own Year 12 experience, posting a photo from that time alongside a message to students. “I remember studying for my Year 12 exams and the hard work that went into it,” he wrote. “Now, as that time of year rolls around again, I want to say to the Class of 2025 Year 12s: you’ve put in the effort, studied hard, and I wish you all the very best heading into the next two weeks. Although you’ll have many people in your ear telling you that this isn’t the end of the world if you don’t get the score you want (and that is true) that’s no reason not to give it absolutely everything you’ve got. Your absolute best is all you can give. You don’t want to look back when you are older and regret that you didn’t give it your all.”
He said the exams were an opportunity for students to showcase their years of learning and perseverance. “More than 13,000 South Australian students will sit their exams over the next 10 days across 202 school sites,” he said. “While exams can be a stressful time, it’s also an opportunity to showcase all the hard work students have put in throughout their years of high school.”
SACE Board Chief Executive Michaela Bensley reminded students that their achievements extend far beyond their results. “The SACE Board would like to remind all students sitting exams that their efforts so far have already laid a strong foundation for their future and that their achievements extend far beyond the exam room,” she said. “As students begin their final SACE exams, we recognise the strong partnerships shared with schools and educators across South Australia. Their ongoing support, guidance and commitment have been instrumental in preparing students for this stage of their learning journey.”
Students will receive their results on December 15, with the full exam timetable available on the SACE website.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
