Engineering Studies mock exam
Higher School Certificate Examination - Engineering Studies. Sit it in one block, time yourself with the on-screen clock, then self-mark against the model answers.
Paper structure from the official NESA page.
Paper at a glance
| Section | Questions | Marks | Recommended time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section I - Objective response | 14 | 14 | 35 min |
| Section II - Short answer (engineering modules) | 20 | 80 | 145 min |
The official paper is worth 100 marks. This mock holds 94, because we only use questions we have checked and they don't fill every section of the official paper exactly. Your score is worked out of the marks in the questions you sit, so a perfect paper scores 100%.
Before you start
We do not yet have enough questions in this subject to fill every section of the real paper, so some sections are shorter and the marks are adjusted to match. Sit it anyway to practise pacing.
What this mock covers
- Section I - Objective response: 14 multiple-choice questions, auto-marked when you submit.
- Section II - Short answer (engineering modules): 20 short-answer questions (80 marks), self-marked against a model answer.
