Which past papers for HSC Exams

[J.B]

Hi,
I was just wondering for the HSC, is it best to be doing HSC past papers, trial past papers or both? I've been told that trials are harder than the HSC, but then HSC past papers will be similar in style.
Thanks

hsc papers for sure! the actual hsc papers give you a better indication of how they'll ask questions, although trials are meant to mirror the hsc's format. for some subjects, the trials are a bit weird in how they ask questions (*cough* cssa legal). also, some trial papers may leave out content because it might not have been covered by that particular school.

Very true, Thank you

Currently, I'm dividing my time between trial and HSC past papers, with emphasis on the HSC past papers.
Doing both allows you to capture the scope of the HSC course through the HSC past papers, but also helps you develop skills through the difficulty of trial papers. This is why people who solely focus on HSC past papers may do well, but lack further skills that trial papers allow you to dive into.

Of course, you should try and finish as many HSC past papers, but don't neglect the power of these trial papers, as skills attained from them can be used in the HSC, and due to the increased difficulty, it allows you to challenge yourself.
