What HSC students actually think
Notes from New South Wales students getting exam ready with AusGrader.
Doing past HSC Physics papers on here has already made a big difference. For once I'm actually going into an exam feeling confident and not just hoping for the best.

My Bio answers have honestly gotten so much better since I started using AusGrader. The lead up to trials has felt way less stressful than I expected.

How HSC assessment works
Your HSC mark in each course is an even combination of school-based assessment and your result in the HSC examinations. Results are reported against performance bands, with Band 6 representing a mark of 90 or above.
The trial exams in Term 3 and the HSC exams themselves are both built in the style of past NESA papers, which is why working through past questions against the marking guidelines is the core of effective HSC revision.
Practise with real HSC questions
AusGrader's HSC question bank uses real NESA examination questions and marking guidelines under licence, organised against the current syllabus outcomes for each course.
Submit typed answers or photos of handwritten working and get marked with feedback that shows exactly which marking criteria you met. It is built for trials preparation as much as the final exams.
Target the bands you are aiming for
Analytics break your performance down by module and topic so you can see what is holding you back from the next band, and compare your scores with other NSW students on the same questions.
Real NESA questions, instant marking and band-focused analytics make AusGrader a complete HSC study app for trials preparation and the final exams alike.
