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.
Text, topic and skill labels are ATARMAxxing analysis; exact questions remain in the official linked papers. Historical percentages describe printed choices, not student workload or future probabilities. Select your prescribed text. The Namesake and Twelfth Night are 2026 EA texts with no 2023–2025 questions in this index. Feedback scope is identified; no whole-exam statistic is assigned to a single essay alternative. © State of Queensland (QCAA), linked publications subject to their stated CC BY 4.0 terms and 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.
