Would a past exam library improve your exam preparation?

Your Guild Representative Committee (GRC) is advocating for a past exam library – a free online collection of past Griffith exams that students can search and access.

Access to past exams could help you better prepare by giving you the opportunity to practise with real exam questions, understand how exams are structured, become familiar with different question styles and feel more confident about what to expect. The proposed library would bring together past exams approved for release, accessible in one place through your university login.

We want to hear from you!

Tell us about your current access to exam preparation materials and whether a past exam library would be useful to you. The Guild is working with the University to explore this initiative, and your feedback will help inform its development.

For the purpose of completing this survey, please note:

Past exam: An actual exam paper used in a course in a previous year, showing the real exam structure, question styles and format.

Practice exam: A sample or mock exam created to help students prepare, which may not reflect the structure, question styles or format of an actual exam.

Taking part is voluntary and anonymous.
