How the course practises it

  • Section I. 104 objective-response questions; each wrong option says which slip it catches.

  • Section II. 163 written-response questions in parts of 1 to 5 marks, each step marked on its own marking guide, with follow-through from earlier parts.

  • Timed papers. Section I and Section II sets, and 10 full papers, at the exam's pace of about 1.7 minutes a mark.

The HSC examines both the Year 11 and the Year 12 content of the 2024 syllabus, first examined in 2027. School-based assessment is set by your school, so it is described in a lesson rather than practised here.
