it is mainly harder because people are underprepared and they have the exams in a shorter space of time

Also because many have never sat a major exam like it so over rate it a bit.

Unless your school is especially hard then the trials will be the same standard as the HSC - but you will have spent another 2 months studying and so will know the material a lot better, as well as doing a lot more practice.

I personally found trials harder only because of the timing constraints.

other than that, HSC exams were 10x harder, especially for my school, where trials were deemed to be easy.

I think it's harder towards individuals because they haven't learnt the content as well as they would have come HSC time

yeaa the only difference i think is that there is an extra 7-8 weeks between trials and HSC so there is alot more time to revise and to do heaps more papers.

less than 3 months to go!!!!!!!!
