So if you are here you're wanting to test your understanding of key physics concepts in the NSW HSC for physics. 
For maximum benefit I suggest the following tips.
  1. Download the HSC paper for a particular year and do the questions, and if possible, in test conditions.
  2. Check the answers using the marking guide lines provided. In particular, review the criteria for each question and establish what mark you would give yourself for that question, taking not of strength and wetnesses of your response
  3. Use the sample answer as a guide but remember, it is not meant to be an exemplar response. It is designed as the bare minimum to achieve maximum marks and therefore should not be used as a comprehensive study tool.
  4. If you struggle with the question then the explanations in the videos is your next step.
One last thing...
Questions are designed to test your full undertanding of not know the course connect but scientific skills.
As a result you will be assessed on set criteria and will received a Band that exemplifies that criteria .

​I have produced a video to help you know how to get that Band 6.
As you practice the questions below, consider the advice I give.
