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.
