NSW HSC Question Bank & Practice Tool (4000+ Questions with 0-100 Difficulty) @ Studitory

2100

TLDR; Go to Studitory.app to use my trainer with 4000+ free HSC practice questions [ Currently 3/4U Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry ]

Hey all,

Bit of a self-promo for a side-project I've been working on for the last year!

I'm Phil (graduated 17' Ruse), and I believe in equal access to study material, so I've built Studitory to address these two problems:

  1. Finding enough quality practice questions without paying for expensive tutoring
  2. Matching students with questions at their current skill level

My sibling is currently going through the HSC as well, so I've spent building out a huge Question Bank/ Practice Tool with questions from a variety of sources (disclaimer: no HSC questions because of copyright). It also has progress stats so you can tell which topics and difficulties are a struggle.

Current Stash:

  • 4U Math - (2000+)
  • 3U Math - (2000+)
  • Physics - (800+)
  • Chemistry - (400+)
  • Biology - (600+)

WIP:

  • 2U Math
  • Economics
  • Modern History
  • English Adv (if there is demand for it, I can't imagine people writing full essays online)

I've also implemented a tool for students to upload their own questions (w/ solutions), which will be vetted before being added to the main database - the vision is to have a Study repository ;) full of questions for everyone to practice on.

Also - there will be bugs and some questions will have issues, I will try to address them all but it may take some time as it's just me!

Finally, if you have any good or bad comments, please leave them here or in my inbox at [email protected]

Good luck everyone,
Phil

As this is a beta release, I can vouch it will be completely free for at least the 25' cohort

    Great initiative! Thanks OP.

    For those who didn't know, like myself, HSC is the Higher School Certificate.

  • Pretty cool. Good luck with your initiative… Will be very handy for yr12 students this year.

    this is how Ruse will reclaim top spot

    Brings me back to the (not so long gone) days of sharing around past paper PDFs

    "Missing required parameters"

    Excellent Intiative @phil458 My son just started Year 11 and has taken all 4 of the subjects in WIP. Do you know when would you be able to complete them? Happy to donate to help in this cause as I believe you are helping the community a great deal.

  • Good on you. Good luck

  • Good stuff!

  • OP - Cannot generate questions, gives error missing required parameters.

  • English Adv

    Would be too adv for OZB folks. ;)
    Please start with English Elementary e.g. it's vs its; adverb vs adjective; noun vs pronoun; advise vs advice.

  • If you cannot generate question, choose the topic in the filter section.

  • Thanks all for the support, really means a lot that people may find this useful 🙏🙏

    If you're getting missed required parameters, you need to select topics before generating questions > I'll have to enforce the requirement, somehow slipped past my mind 😅

    • still getting "Missing required parameters"

    • Dont worry, after setting up the profile, it works now

  • Wow just in time for my Y12 kid, thanks for doing this

    Exam Insights does this for the Queensland syllabus, they use the actual past exam questions, as, unlike NSW, these are not under copyright. It’s on a freemium model… started by two high school
    students in 2023.

    It’s great as a teacher!

    Stupid question but how does this relate to kids in Victoria doing VCE. Not a native Australian but have a daughter doing Y11 in Melbourne.

    Cheers

    • +3

      Different courses, as HSC is the NSW course.

      While there's some overlap, using this bank will definitely cause confusion for a VCE student unless they're really clear on what is and isn't in the course.

  • Man I feel like doing some 3U maths for fun.

  • How do I get on board with you :)
    Love it mates thanks!

  • Maybe I should give 4U Maths and Physics a try! :-)
    Both my sons graduated from SBHC some time back- so, a lot of water has flown since I did my HSC (abroad) - may have to brush up on some of the formulae.

    If you're getting the invalid parameters issue, you need to setup your profile on the top left.

    I had this issue since I signed up via Google, so maybe OP has to have the profile setup flow be triggered after Google signup

    • thanks for the heads up, more work for tonight 🫠

    If you want to do well in the HSC, step 1 is to have either Asian or Indian genetics

    • +4

      I think it's more their work ethic if I'm honest. From a middle aged white aussie bloke.

    • +6

      Rubbish. Asians or Indians aren’t just born to naturally do well in HSC. It’s their upbringing and placing a high importance in education and work ethics thats allows them to perform well.

      • +1

        Very true. It doesn't mean all indians/Asians do well but generally speaking you have nailed it. Considering they and their parents learnt to compete with 1 billion population, they know just mere passing is not going to get them anywhere. Those ethics play a big part.

  • "I'm Phil (graduated 17' Ruse)"

    Apostrophe should go before the "17" - that's why North Sydney Boys is #1 - GO FALCONS lol

    In all seriousness - awesome effort! What stack did you use?

    • +1

      🥲 'Next.js for the front and back, 'Supabase for the database, 'Mantine for the components

  • Hey @phil458 You probably missed my question earlier. Do you have any date when you plan to finish the ones in WIP?

    • Since this a side project and I'm a bit busy with my current job as well, I'd say earliest by the end of Feb but I cant guarantee how much content there will be - I'll probably target Adv Math and Econ/English first!

  • Thanks very much Phil! My son is doing his HSC this year so we'll try it out

  • the landing page is nice clickbait disguised as dashboard lol
    I am not sure either it is good or bad

  • tremendously cool!

  • Doesn't work page is clickbait

  • website is a data farm beware
