The NZQA website has all the past exam papers that you could ever need. In the build up to your final exams, I encourage each of you to use those papers to your advantage.
In the meantime, here is a paper from each of the externals you will be sitting on Thursday morning in your mock exam. I have added a marking rubric should you wish to look this over.
Try to answer the papers like you might in an exam setting- handwritten and under the 90 minute (per paper) time pressure. If you bring them in, I am happy to look them over.
