The Higher School Certificate, or HSC for short, is the final examination in secondary school education in New South Wales, Australia.
It is administered by the Board of Studies, and it is used as an aid to calculate the University Admissions Index (UAI) - which is calculated by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC), for controlling university admissions.
Unfortunately, it is perceived that many people place great pressure on the students to perform well in the HSC. It is believed by the students thus that the HSC is an extremely important examination, causing stress in some cases, and even worse psychological strain.
