HSC Chemistry Past Papers

Once you have covered all of the content of HSC Chemistry in class and at home, one of the most effective ways to study is to sit past papers. Try to do entire HSC Chemistry past papers or trial papers in one sitting, allowing yourself the same amount of time that you will receive in the actual examination.

Actual HSC Chemistry Past Papers
Please note that from 2010 onwards, there are 5 more multiple choice questions than in previous years (20 instead of 15), and there are 5 less marks in the core extended response section (55 instead of 60). See the sample examination cover. Also note that the new HSC began in 2001, and papers from 1995-2000 are therefore not indicative of expected examination content.
