Finding past exam papers
The Library has many past examination papers available online–here’s a quick demonstration on how to find them:
The exams are only available to staff and students so you will have to enter your La Trobe username and password to access them. It is also a good idea to check the course materials for your subject on the University’s ‘Schools and Departments‘ webpages as many exams are also available on the web.
And if you need more help, remember your Subject Librarian is expert at finding resources–drop in and have a chat with them!
