Please note the conditions of supply of CSSA Trial HSC Examination papers for 2015 • Papers scheduled for ALL WEEKS must be taken at time/date specified. Rescheduling of papers prior

to the nominated times is not permitted. All Examination papers including students’ scripts MUST be collected at the conclusion of the examination and held until Thursday 13th August 2015.
