Exam Predictors 2026
Find official questions, understand lost marks and choose what to practise next.
Historical evidence and practice priorities. Future exam questions are not guaranteed. Independent of QCAA.
2024–2025 complete printed question corpus: 54 questions, separately marked parts or printed alternatives. The current syllabus adds and reorganises material, including circuits and heat treatment. Historical item mappings do not imply coverage of every 2026 addition. A 2025 platform-lift illustration is redacted. The 2024 report is evidenced by selected official indexed excerpts. Showing 6 sample entries; trend percentages use this sample only. Official result percentages describe the published exam cohort.

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.
Original ATARMAxxing indexing labels are analysis, not official question wording. Historical marks do not predict future probability. Multiple-topic rows may contribute to multiple topics. Missing numerical results remain unavailable. © State of Queensland (QCAA); linked publications retain their CC BY 4.0 terms and stated exceptions.
Use these patterns alongside your own lost marks to choose practice. Keep covering the full syllabus: repeated topics are not guaranteed to appear again.
