Frequently Asked Questions About HSC Question Bank
HSC Question Bank is a paid HSC Mathematics practice service. Below are direct answers to the questions students, parents, and teachers ask most often — from how to access problems to pricing, licensing, and study advice. For more background, see About.
What is HSC Question Bank?
HSC Question Bank is a premium online library of HSC Mathematics Advanced, Extension 1, and Extension 2 problems with clear statements, topic tags, and difficulty levels. It is created and maintained by Vu Hung Nguyen, a university educator in NSW, to help students build rigorous understanding — not just exam shortcuts. All problems can be read in your browser with no download required.
Who is HSC Question Bank for?
HSC Question Bank is for NSW HSC students studying Mathematics Advanced, Extension 1, and Extension 2, as well as parents and teachers who need high-quality, NESA-aligned revision material. Students preparing for university-level mathematics will also benefit from the harder challenge problems.
How can I access maths support and resources?
Open any problem from the Problems page — no sign-up needed for browsing. For questions, feedback, or tutoring enquiries, use the Contact page. Companion booklets and more resources are available on Vu's Maths Hub.
Who created HSC Question Bank?
HSC Question Bank was created by Vu Hung Nguyen, an ML/AI engineer and university educator in NSW. He teaches mathematics-related subjects at university level and writes these resources to give HSC students clear, rigorous practice that most textbooks do not provide.
Is HSC Question Bank a paid service?
Yes. HSC Question Bank is a paid service. Access to problems, advanced study tools, and premium features requires a subscription. For pricing and access details, please visit the Services page or use the Contact page to enquire.
Can I use the problems for my school?
Yes. You may use and share the problems for personal and school use with appropriate attribution. For booklet licensing details on companion materials, see CC BY 4.0 on Vu's Maths Hub.
Where should I start my HSC Maths study pathway?
Start with your weakest topics — not necessarily the newest problems. Open the Problems page, filter by course and topic, try easier difficulty levels first, then tackle harder ones. See How to Use for filtering tips and study suggestions.
How can I report a typo or send feedback?
Use the Contact page or message Vu on LinkedIn. You can also share assessment tasks and trial papers via Contact.
Are you available for tutoring, coaching, or collaboration?
University teaching schedules are busy, but brief collaborations and quick questions are welcome via LinkedIn or Contact. For tutoring or coaching enquiries, reach out through the Contact page.
Why do harder problems go beyond routine HSC drills?
Challenge and enrichment-style problems prepare you for university-level mathematics and build deeper understanding that pays off in Extension 2 and beyond. Many standard textbooks stay too shallow — stretching yourself makes the core HSC content feel manageable by comparison.
How do bookmarks / Saved problems work?
Use the bookmark control on a problem to save it locally in your browser, then open Saved to revisit them. Saved lists stay on your device — clear browser data if you need to reset.
