BOS Trials (1 Viewer)

[Hehehe22]

Hey, I have some knowledge that BOS used to publish its own unique trial papers, but I did a bit of research, and it doesn't seem like this is happening anymore? Can someone confirm and explain how it works/worked?

BoS trials are still a thing, the most recent iteration being last year!

BoS Trials Maths and Business Studies 2024

Want some valuable exposure to harder and more interesting HSC questions, rather than the same generic/recycled questions? Want to do a practice paper under simulated exam conditions in preparation for your HSC? Know anyone at school who is good at HSC Maths or Business Studies? It is that...

Each year, people with extensive knowledge of particular HSC subjects come together and write challenging trial papers for those subjects intended for high-achieving students. The BoS trials have traditionally featured exams for maths subjects, but more recently featured exams for Chemistry, Business Studies and Physics.

WOW that's so good, thanks for linking me to the thread! Do you only write new exams for Maths Ext 1/2 and Business Studies now?

No worries! It depends on the availability of existing authors each year and whether new authors sign up to participate in the writing process. That usually determines whether a BoS trial will be made possible for a particular subject.

Ah I see, makes sense

Hey, I'm interested in contributing some questions for 3u/4u maths, where can I apply for this?

I would recommend contacting @Trebla as he is the one who organises the BoS trials each year.

Hey did you guys realise the extension HSC last year copied one of your questions? I think it was 14 d on the HSC, and 11b or smth on the BOS paper, a few friends and I thankfully got it because we recognised the question.
