How it is assessed
The current HSC Physics exam is 3 hours, worth 100 marks: 20 multiple-choice marks and 80 marks of short and extended responses across Modules 5 to 8.
NSW has released new 11-12 science syllabuses (2025); check with your child's school which syllabus their HSC year follows.
Scaling and the ATAR
In the 2025 HSC, Physics had a mean HSC mark of 37.0 and a mean scaled mark of 31.0 out of 50.
Where marks are lost
The same patterns show up in marked work every year:
- โ Projectile and circular motion set up without diagrams
- โ Electromagnetism directions confused
- โ Extended answers that skip the physics between steps
- โ Units and significant figures
- โ Graph-based questions answered without using the data
