ExploreAbout this exam
Agricultural Production is a Stage 2 subject within the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), the senior secondary qualification administered by the SACE Board of South Australia. The SACE Board lists Agricultural Production alongside Agricultural Systems under the Agriculture subject area on its Stage 2 subjects page. The subject sits in the Stage 2 (Year 12) band of the certificate, which students typically complete after Stage 1. Because the SACE Board's public site organises Stage 2 subjects around subject outlines, performance standards and grades, learning and assessment plans, school assessment and moderation, and external assessment, candidates should treat those official documents as the authoritative description of what the subject covers and how it is assessed. The site does not publish, on the page retrieved, an item count, time limit, passing score, fee, or retake rule for this subject, so none can be quoted here. To prepare, work from the current subject outline and performance standards, confirm assessment requirements and deadlines with your school, use past examination papers (the SACE Board notes these remain available and are the most accurate exam preparation resource), and review the exam rules and special provisions pages before assessment.
