This year’s HSC and equivalent exams saw a big drop in results. A total of 58.83% students passed in the exam which is the lowest pass rate in 20 years. Many students were disappointed and have asked for their papers to be rechecked through the HSC Result Challenge. More than 226,000 students from 11 education boards applied for re-evaluation.
As per the report, this year the review process was started online on October 17 and ended on October 23, 2025. Over 428,000 answer scripts were challenged, which is the highest number in recent years.
After seeing the poor results, thousands of students applied for “script challenges.” Many believe there were mistakes in marking, especially in English and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). These two subjects received the highest number of complaints this year.
Officials said that the number of recheck requests is much higher than last year. Students and parents hope that the re-evaluation will fix any errors in marking.

English and ICT are the two most applied subjects this year. Students said they were confused by the new question style and stricter grading. Many believe their actual performance was better than the marks they received.
Education experts think this rise in re-evaluation requests shows a growing concern about how papers are being checked.
The education boards are now reviewing all the requested scripts. Once the process is complete, they will publish updated results for those whose marks change.
Usually, re-evaluation results are published within three to four weeks after the application deadline. Students can check their results directly from their respective board websites.
