Using HSC papers for trials study?

Is doing HSC past papers for trials study not as good as doing past trials papers? Is there much of a difference in questions?

Hey!

I've been doing HSC and trial papers for my preparation and there sometimes is a bit difference. I feel like the trial papers, especially Independent and CSSA papers, are definitely more challenging compared to the actual HSC papers. They seem to include questions on topics that you might think won't be tested or the questions are worded a bit 'weird' which makes you have to think about them for a bit.

However, I think doing the trial papers are currently benefitting me a bit more but whatever resources you can get access to should be helpful regardless!
