The Comprehensive Master List of HSC Senior Science Past Papers!

So, you’ve chosen Senior Science for your HSC (good choice!) and now you need to study for it. You (hopefully) have amazing notes and a good grasp of the concepts and are now ready to crush those past papers in preparation for acing your exam.

Even if you don’t that’s alright, there are plenty of resources on the internet to help you be they here or… elsewhere. If you’re still worried don’t be, you and this penguin can get a move on together!

Below is every past HSC Senior Science paper from 2016 all the way back to 2002! At that sentence you might be thinking “listen, why on EARTH would I need to do FOURTEEN past papers?”. (That’s in addition to trials practice, and any other questions your teachers might set you…)

Why you should be doing at least Half of these past papers;

I know, it seems like a colossal waste of the time you have in the lead up to the HSC but as someone who has done it before I’m telling you it helped me so much. The papers are almost soul-crushingly similar, and I get not wanting to do that to yourself, however in the long run it makes sitting your HSC feel like a walk in the park.

The amazing talent of BOSTES to recycle almost exact replicas of the same question is remarkable, and your greatest ally. With this in mind you know that if you do even half of the past papers you have (probably) come across almost every different type of question on a large amount of the topics you may be tested on.

Sophie Dyson sat her Senior Science HSC on a cool and cloudy Monday morning. She was far more stressed than she needed to be (as per usual). Sophie had done 10 of the above 14 actual HSC papers (I know, I didn’t do all 14; the scandal!) along with countless other practise questions and was pretty well prepared. The morning of the exam Sophie woke up at 7 and did 100 multiple choice questions on the BOSTES website to calm her nerves and reassure herself that she would be fine, Sophie does not recommend doing this. (Even though it worked.)

45,861 students have a head start...
