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.
VCAA question references, mark allocations and reported results are official. Topic labels and syllabus mappings are ATARMAxxing analysis. Historical mark shares describe this indexed corpus, not future question probabilities. Multiple-choice incorrect rates sum wrong options and exclude omitted answers; written-response zero marks and full marks are separate measures. Published percentages may differ from 100 because of rounding. Source-page links open the start of the parent question; later subparts may continue overleaf. Open the original paper and report for the exact question, stimulus and assessment commentary. Only 2024–2025 is indexed under the current design; earlier designs are excluded, so this is not a three-year current-design trend.
Use these patterns alongside your own lost marks to choose practice. Keep covering the full syllabus: repeated topics are not guaranteed to appear again.
