Yeah I did it on Wednesday. That pregnancy question was so annoying

Pregnancy one was alright?

I think the most annoying part of STAV 2015 was MC, some were very irrelevant and ambiguous101

I haven't done any VCAA papers for a while. Mainly because I've done all the questions from 2006-2012 from checkpoints. Is it worth doing the papers and going over the same questions again?

It's probably worth it. Not all questions would have been in checkpoints

If you have time, then most definitely. VCAA bio markers are very pedantic about the wording of answers. You'll want to try and adhere as much as possible to their suggested answers.  :)
