I'm studying Physics and Chemistry, and I've tried the questions in the textbooks I use (surfing and in focus) but they all seem to be repetitive and are nothing like the harder questions in the HSC. Does anyone have any other textbook suggestions or resources with hard exam type questions for these subjects? Thank you!

I think the simplest resources for these are past HSC papers, past trial papers and question banks on thsc (even atar notes is pretty good). Funny how atar notes is just replaced by ********* lol

Here's a tip: do the MC as if they were SA.

The above are some good ideas. Particularly the idea on the multiple choice because the questions here are often overlooked in terms of study. They can actually be really beneficial if you do them in a certain way such as writing out the full definitions for things or justifying your answer as if it was a 2-4 marker. For example, instead of just choosing the correct answer, you should try to justify in which scenario the other answers would be correct if possible. That way you change the 1 multiple choice question into something that helps you study for multiple types of questions that might arise.

On the topic of the HSC past papers, if you want the questions sorted by topic directly so you don't have to go look up the questions in each paper there are textbooks for this. These are the Strive and Success One textbooks.
