Q. How do I find past exam papers?

Exam papers are available by using the Library Search Box. You must be an enrolled Western Sydney University student or current staff member to access this content.

You can search and access past exam papers that have been released in the last 10 years. Answers and solutions are not provided (including exams with multiple choice sections).

Ensure you Sign in to ‘My Library’ in the first instance, then:

1. Search for past exam papers by subject number (e.g. 101979) or subject title (e.g. Understanding Visual Culture).
2. Refine your search by using the filters listed on the left hand side of your search results. You can select a date range under Publication Date and limit by Content Type.
3. Click Available online.
4. Under View Online click on the Digital Object.
5. The exam paper will open in a new tab where it can be downloaded.

If you have not logged into My Library and have then selected Available online, a message will appear that the resource is only available to current Western Sydney University students and staff.

Click on the Sign in button and enter your Western Account, then follow steps 4-5.

Each school determines if exam papers are released. If the paper you are searching for is not in the Library catalogue and you would like to enquire further, please check your vUWS page or contact your Subject Coordinator.
