We used AI to read seven years of HSC papers.
Here's what to have ready.
Question styles to look out for in every major 2026 HSC exam — drawn from every paper, marking guideline and marker-feedback report since 2019. These are the patterns worth having ready. They are predictions, not a leaked paper — we can be wrong, and some of these won't come up.

How often were we right last year? we scored this panel against the 2025 papers before predicting 2026
- 37/37
- high-confidence topic calls hit in the 2025 backtest
- ~½
- of question-level predictions appeared in 2025
Before predicting 2026 we made the same panel sit a test: predict the 2025 papers blind, then score it against what actually came up. Topic-level calls held up; question-level detail is roughly a coin flip, which is why these pages are written as styles to have ready rather than questions to memorise. The full method →
