Past Papers
« on: January 30, 2017, 01:51:41 pm »
Hi,

Every student who has done the HSC says past papers are the holy grail and basically the best way to study. Where would you get past papers from? I understand that you can use past HSC papers but if you start using them now won't you run out by the time the trials/HSC comes around? Like should I save them for that time or just start going through them now? What should I do if I run out?

I would recommend focusing on half-yearly and trial papers that you can find online. Just google around, and see what you can find! There are massive online databases out there.

Just going to drop the largest bank of past papers I know of (especially without breaching copyright).

ArtofSmart also has a lot of past trial/HSC papers :)
In terms of running out, just because you've done one before doesn't mean you can't do it again! That actually worked pretty well for me, because it was a good indication of how far i'd come and what issues were still present - just make sure you wait a while before going back to it so you can't remember the questions or how you answered them :)
