That doesn't have much. For example, in the case of Legal Studies, I was only able to find 1 past trial paper.

I see that as a loss to SCCA in terms of profits rather than a loss to the school.

True but it did mean that for a number of years the staff at that school had more work to do as they had less choice for their trials (this pre-dated the Independent trial papers as well).

It also made it harder for their students to get hold of those papers and thus their students were possibly at a disadvantage in relation to other students as they hadn't necessarily seen the CSSA papers and therefore didn't have the information in those exams to use when deciding the emphasis of their study. For many years students have looked at the CSSA papers and used them as a guide as to what is likely to be excluded from the actual HSC exams although that doesn't alway work.

Of course. It shouldn't work because both papers should be produced independently and there is no relation between them.

Last time I checked individuals could not directly make a purchase from the organisation that produced the paper, so the only legal way to get them is too convince your school to purchase a copy. Your school doesn't have to buy them, and quite often they don't.
