Hi guys, I've started doing some methods practice exams and was wondering about your opinions,
which company do you thhink is difficult?
I personally believe TSFX or Kilbaha are very very difficult :S

Damn straight... I get all motivated because I can do some textbook questions, then I go read an exam question and just look like this :|

neap is quite difficult, insight and heff are too easy, mav is just a bit harder than insight and tssm can sometimes be hard, it is generally a bit longer than other exams and tsfx is supposed to be the hardest, since it goes over the course. VCAA exam is on par with mav ones

Are you guys using maths quest? I am, and I think it is disgraceful how different the exam is to the book in terms of difficulty, there is near nothing in that book that can set you up for the higher tier questions that exams have, and in my case SACs as well.....
Don't bother with the book anymore unless you need to understand the basics of theories or something, just do practice exams, if you sincerely do not understand a question, checking the answer is not the best option, ask a friend or teacher to give you a little tip that may send you in the right direction, or walk you through what you need to do.

agree, no matter what book your using, you should always be focusing on practise exams. Although, note that practise exams tend to be harder than the actual exam

Also, the reason why that is true is because textbook questions are not designed to resemble exam-style questions. Their purpose is to be there to allow you to grasp all the concepts first.
