The command words this course marks on

A Hospitality paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.

How a Hospitality paper is built

HSC Hospitality - Written Examination Shape — 100 marks, 120 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.

  1. Section I: Multiple choice15 marks
  2. Section II: Short answer45 marks
  3. Section III: Extended response40 marks

Start with the Hospitality dot points you have never been asked

Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
