HSC papers vs trial papers?

Having rankings so similar isn't exactly a bad thing, nor is it good. It just means that the assessment marks that get reported will seem quite clogged up.

Is it a good idea to do open book past papers for maths? For me I'm the type of person who does open book past papers first, especially for subjects like the sciences and the humanities but I don't know whether or not the same principle would apply to maths (I feel that most of the time people do closed book past papers for maths)

Hey conic curve,
Personally I think it is a good idea to have your set of notes handy when beginning to do past papers...although this would mostly be the case for formulas and I'm not sure, but if you are doing mathematics or extension we are now given a formula sheet.
Obviously, it is ideal to progress into doing exams under exam conditions but I think there is nothing wrong with doing open book to begin with, just try not to rely on your book too much (only use it for questions you are seriously stuck on)
Hope that was somewhat helpful, Alex :)

The thing about maths is that it's all about speed and you don't really have much time to look there and look here for such things

Yes you do. What you don't have time for is "staring" at it.
You should memorise as many formulas as you can, but the sheet ensures that you are never stuck. Use it as soon as you need it.
