new resources for new syllabus (1 Viewer)

here sample papers for new syllabus

it good?

edit: the title used to be “new sample papers for new syllabus” but since then more resources have become available so i changed the title to “new resources for new syllabus”

note it is for the courses starting 2026 year 11 2027 year 12

seems to be a mistake in the extension 2 Q14cii


solutions from wolframalpha:

so the question should have had a ± inside the square root

but nesa's solution correct

just the question wrong

 

[liamkk112]

ngl the extension 1 paper looks almost identical to the current syllabus, it looks like they basically just took a bunch of previous hsc questions and put them together

ext 2 at least looks slightly different, i don't think they would have specifically asked about triangle medians before, cauchy schwarz was in there, 14c is a bit different from what they usually ask but could be in the old syllabus, squeeze theorem explicit mention. tbh the changes are pretty insignificant though

 

[tywebb]

just like the hsc mgs, they did not show the working for the mc. there are also several or otherwise questions, and no indication whatsoever in the nesa solutions what are the or otherwise methods.

so i think we need to redo some questions, showing working for the mc and the or otherwise methods.

here are the or otherwise questions

advanced: Q31bii
extension 2: Q11cii, Q12dii, Q14ci, Q14cii

so no surprise there are no or otherwises for the standard papers, but quite surprising there are none for the extension 1, as many past extension 1 papers have or otherwises.

or otherwises have a long history in the past papers going right back to 1916. that they are still in these sample papers is an indication they are not going away any time soon.

 

[tywebb]

although nesa don't publish working for mc for hsc papers, there are several published ones that do.

many of the sample paper mc questions have come from past hsc papers, so the task can be significantly reduced.

i found most of the sources, most copy-pasted from past hsc, some changed slightly

the ones with the ? will require new solutions obviously, but perhaps the changed ones too

here is a resource for the new syllabus for standard, advanced and extension 1 i was given recently.

this is the first resource for new syllabus outside nesa website before new textbooks come out

apparently they will make one for the ext. 2 later too

 

[coolcat6778]

New sample paper looks harder than the 2024 advanced paper.

 

[coolcat6778]

Aye a new formula sheet

 

[tywebb]

Aye a new formula sheet

yeah. each course will get their own one, which is better i think.

new cambridge year 11 standard, advanced, extension 1 second edition books come out in term 3

but now they have sample pages for the standard chapter 7 at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_nsw_stage_6_11_standard_2ed_-_uncor

hopefully they will put up more chapters and more subjects soon so we don't have to wait till term 3

new cambridge year 11 standard, advanced, extension 1 second edition books come out in october

but now they have sample pages for the standard chapter 7 at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_nsw_stage_6_11_standard_2ed_-_uncor

hopefully they will put up more chapters and more subjects soon so we don't have to wait till october

I appreciate the new Math in Focus aesthetic. Previous cambridge version looked absolutely hideous

 

[tywebb]

the entire y 11 second edition cambridge advanced text sample pages (but with no answers) is available online now at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_nsw_stage_6_11_advanced_2ed_-_uncor

hopefully they release the ext. 1 soon but i dunno when

 

[jane1820]

the entire y 11 second edition advanced text (but with no answers) is available online now at https://issuu.com/cambridge3/docs/cambridgemaths_nsw_stage_6_11_advanced_2ed_-_uncor

hopefully they release the ext. 1 soon but i dunno when

Do you think this is good prelim practice for the current syllabus? Not exam but foundation setting

 

[tywebb]

Do you think this is good prelim practice for the current syllabus? Not exam but foundation setting

nope. it's different syllabus. u would be better off using the current cambridge book for current syllabus.

new senior maths 4th edition also have sample chapers 5 and 9 for year 11 advanced

https://www.pearson.com/en-au/schools/media/r3kld4rg/new-senior-mathematics-4e-advanced-11-ch5-trigonometry-and-measures-of-angles-sample-pages.pdf

https://www.pearson.com/en-au/schools/media/dkvd414d/new-senior-mathematics-advanced-year-11-ch9-probability-sample-pages.pdf

they come from https://www.pearson.com/en-au/schoo...s-11-12-for-the-stage-6-mathematics-syllabus/

hopefully they will put up some extension 1 chapters too

there are a few changes in the 4th edition apart from the obvious content changes due to new syllabus

1. for the first time they are splitting the year 11 and 12. previously they were combined.

2. the solutions are no longer split odd/even. this time they are combined together.

3. for the extension 1 they are combining the advanced and extension 1 so you don't have to buy advanced and extension 1 separately anymore

apparently the year 11 books come in term 4 2025 and year 12 books come term 3 2026.

information on expected publication dates for textbooks for new syllabus was previously non-existent but now we have considerably more (though not complete) such information.

So information so far is at https://4unitmaths.com/expected-publication-dates.pdf and will be updated as new information becomes available
