Below are some solutions to HSC physics past paper questions. More years and answers arranged by topic coming soon.

Suggestions for preparing mid-year exams

A large proportion of the mid-year exams I see utilise past HSC exam questions (relying on the fact that most students won't yet have got around to doing them by that point). I suggest students do these as they go in year 12, completing all past paper questions on space and motors and generators before their mid-year exams.

Where do I find past paper questions?

All past HSC exams are available from the Board of studies website.

Also available on this website are the markers notes and marking scheme for all extended response questions, which should be downloaded along with the past paper questions. It is essential that students consult both the marking notes and marking scheme when practising answering past paper questions as this will gradually enable students to learn what is required for a particular style of question or how much to write for a particular number of marks.

A very large number of trial HSC papers are available for download from the website Peerdoc. It is necessary to sign up for an account to download them. Once you are logged in just click on the link above a second time.

Just physics papers can be accessed similarly from this page on peerdoc.
