Now there are 4 more papers, Sydney Girls 2023 at https://community.boredofstudies.or...rls-2023-mathematics-extension-2-trial.20332/ as well as Abbotsleigh 2023, Glenwood 2023, Knox 2023 at https://thsconline.github.io/s/yr12/Maths/trialpapers_extension2.html we can add these:

Sydney Girls 2023: Q3, 12a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 16a, 16b

Abbotsleigh 2023: Q3, 7, 11c, 12d, 14a, 14d, 16a

Glenwood 2023: Q2, 12a, 14a, 15b, 16a

Knox 2023: Q5, 6, 11b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 15a, 16a

which is 27 proof questions. Hence the total is up to 394 now. Maybe the 2023 HSC exam will make it 400 or near that.

So apart from the proof chapters in textbooks and past paper questions, what other resources might be useful for proofs?

24 bilibili videos on proofs: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ig411a7kd . This is The Great Courses course Prove It: The Art of Mathematical Argument

If you are not familiar with bilibili it's like a Chinese youtube and you can select the different videos in the video selection box:

The ebook for this last one is now available. It came out a bit early a few hours ago. If you are old fashioned and want a hardcopy version you will still have to wait.

I now have the ebook and have read half of it already.

However the ebook is already available.
