How marks and question types are counted
All printed alternatives are counted in these historical shares; candidates follow the paper’s instructions to choose which questions to answer. Mixed-topic items are kept together, and each indexed question contributes its marks once.
ATARMAxxing labels and skill groupings are analysis checked against official NESA mapping grids. A leaf row is counted once; mixed topics retain one shared mark allocation. Examiner advice keeps its published question or section scope. Historical printed-mark shares describe the selected source stratum and corpus; they are not probabilities for 2026. Optional external exam for eligible 240-hour course completers. Select your stream using the paper filter. 2023 uses the previous syllabus and is a separate legacy stratum; current-course history is 2024–2025. SITv3 updates Safety to the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), alongside the WHS Act 2011.
Use these patterns alongside your own lost marks to choose practice. Keep covering the full syllabus: repeated topics are not guaranteed to appear again.
