General

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.

Do you offer any free mathematics resources?

Yes. We also run vumaths.com, a free sister website providing open mathematics booklets, study notes, and articles with no ads or popups. While vumaths.com provides open theory and reference materials, the HSC Question Bank is our specialized paid practice platform with thousands of curated exam problems, hints, and step-by-step worked solutions.

What is the relationship between HSC Question Bank and vumaths.com?

Both websites are part of the same educational ecosystem created by Vu Hung Nguyen. vumaths.com is the free learning hub offering downloadable booklets and topic guides. HSC Question Bank is the paid, interactive practice tool designed for systematic exam revision and mastery.

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 (vumaths.com).

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.

Curriculum & Coverage

Is HSC Question Bank a paid service?

Yes. HSC Question Bank is a paid practice platform. Subscribing gives you complete access to curated problem statements, hints, step-by-step solutions, and key takeaways across courses. See our Pricings page for subscription details. If you are looking for free introductory study booklets and theory guides, visit our sister site at vumaths.com.

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.

Study Tools & Playlists

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.
