Year 12 students undertaking their Higher School Certificate (HSC) trial exams will face disruptions after the New South Wales government announced a two-week extension to home learning on Wednesday.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) said that schools could decide whether to postpone trial exams from July 26 to Aug. 9 or provide suitable alternative assessment tasks.
