This interactive workshop contains brand new resources for Physics teachers, helping them to analyse the 2024 exam and best prepare their students for the 2025 HSC.

In this workshop, teachers will:

leverage 2024 RAP Analyses to benefit Physics teaching and learning
scrutinise the 2024 exam for emerging themes and commonplace mistakes by students
translate the language within questions into physics concepts and equations
pilot mark brand new bespoke questions and sample answers
unpack and attempt a brand new 9-mark question
identify strategies for cross-module questions
collaboratively develop an exam-style question with marking criteria and exemplar answer

All teachers will walk away with a variety of resources to assist their students in their forthcoming exams. Also, all attendees will receive our bespoke RAP Analysis Spreadsheet upon registration to use for their own exam analysis meetings at school.

Feedback from Previous Courses

"This was an amazing PD. It has helped me to understand better how to support my students to get better marks and Bands."
