Tbph, itute is not so much hard as it is stupid. We're not supposed to know how to do it, so why bother testing us on it? It's as if they set to say to you, 'look guys, you're not doing University level physics, you're doing vce level physics, so here's a university level exam for you to fail at just to prove that you are indeed a year 12.'

Apparently the free exams (itute, tsfx etc.) are made harder purposefully so you feel like you are not up to the level and therefore go to their tutoring/lecturing services.

questions from 'easy exams' are routine and familiar. you can do it by memory with no understanding.
the opposite is true for so called hard and stupid exams.

neap is good and follows study design closely. some others dont. just look at the voltage transfer curve in others, no longer in the syllabus

STAV is done by actual past VCAA examiners so it is worth doing them all, on the other hand itute is a complete waste of time (for all subjects i guess), NEAP is good, and TSSM difficulty level high.
