Over the past 18 days, 815 students from the Tamworth electorate and 834 students from the Northern Tablelands sat the exams.
The students can now get their school assessment ranks by logging in to Students Online.
They will receive their HSC results on Wednesday, December 16.
Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson said the students should be “extremely proud” of achieving the “significant milestone”.
“Regardless of what result they receive on December 16, as a community we should be proud of the commitment to education shown by our young people,” Mr Anderson said.
“The students have worked hard and committed a lot of time and energy to their studies, so the end of the HSC is a huge moment and signifies the start of the next chapter in their lives. Now it’s time to drop the pen for a while and enjoy a well-earned break.”
Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said there was now a much brighter future for young people in the region, which had a growing capacity to educate, train, employ and retain young people.
“For those students who do decide to pursue a university degree, I wish you every success with your studies and hope you are accepted into the course of your choice,” Mr Marshall said.
“For those who choose employment or further training, I hope that you are able to find what your need here in the Northern Tablelands so that our community can benefit from your commitment and ability.”
