[6] Terry Lee Solutions (archived 2017)
Terry Lee's website with solutions to HSC Papers

Thanks for the link to the archived version of the old hsccoaching.com website which has been shut down.

But the new website (which also includes 2018 solutions) is at advancedmathematics.com.au

Here is a more specific list of resources for solutions for Extension 1 and 2 HSC exams.

They are online from 1967-2022 for Extension 1 and 1981-2022 for Extension 2.

The itute and Terry Lee ones will probably have solutions after 2022.

For those who have access to MANSW’s Reflections magazine, you can get the 1975-1980 ones there too for 4 unit but they are not online.

As from today, the link to users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/me2.html no longer works and now redirects to a page saying all websites at users.tpg.com.au/username "has reached End of Life and has closed" : https://support.tpg.com.au/tpg-members-webspace-end-life

The website has now moved to https://4unitmaths.com/me2.html but many of the links are broken and will have to be fixed which I will do soon. One of the most popular links was users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/otherpapers.html which is now at https://4unitmaths.com/otherpapers.html .

I had prior knowledge that this would happen and retrieved all the files from the tpg server before the shutdown - but it's going to be a pain to fix all the links!

Hi buchanan, have amended original post with new link

nesa presentations on the new maths syllabus hsc exams for ext 2, ext 1, adv, std 1 and std 2

2023: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8xq2e6g2fco05sr/nesa-presentations-2023hsc.zip/file (4 mp3 and 4 pdf of slides)

2022: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vr8rzp5deiq2v05/hsc-feedback-day-2023-files.zip/file (4 mp3 and 4 pdf of slides)

2021: https://4unitmaths.com/2021-hsc-nesa-youtubes.pdf (19 videos)

2020: https://4unitmaths.com/2020-hsc-nesa-youtubes.pdf (21 videos)

2019: https://4unitmaths.com/2019-hsc-std-notes-from-2020-hsc-feedback-day.zip (8 pdfs - standard only - audience member notes, not slides)

Note: The presentations went ahead in 2020 for the 2019 hsc with an audience and nesa were strict about no recordings or photos of slides, but allowed them to take notes as had been the case in presentations in previous years for the old syllabus. Then covid happened and nesa were forced to change their tune on that. There could not be audiences in 2021 or 2022 and so nesa made youtubes. It was either that - or nothing! After that in 2023 and 2024 they had audiences again but they made their own recordings and slides available. Not much point in banging on about no recordings or photos of slides when there is a heap of them already on youtube!
