Individual schools involved in small group moderation each purchase their own copy of a paper using our small course enrolment pricing. Our Terms of Sale do not permit schools to share our papers with any other school.
Any paper bought using small course enrolment pricing does not qualify for any further discounts (eg quantity discount) when bought with other papers.
Schools can opt to purchase Premium or Regular Math Semester Papers. Read about the unique features of our Premium Papers and our guarantee to further ensure the validity of your school assessments here.
Our new optional Reward Program gives schools that have ordered Mathematics Semester Papers early access to them, so that teachers can report any typos, errors, or other issues they find and receive a monetary reward.
Many schools add their crest/logo to the cover page of our exams, but we can do that task for you. Simply email our office a high quality copy of your logo and your customised papers will be supplied with logo in place, at no extra cost.
Schools can opt to have a mark recording table included in current semester exams.
Another option that schools can choose is to include ATAR style "DO NOT WRITE IN..." margins in current semester exams.
Schools can choose to download exams as soon as they are available or alternatively opt for a later, more convenient date that is closer to the time your exams are scheduled. As minor typos sometimes come to light after exams are first available, a later download means that they'll be fixed before you take delivery of your papers.
