Ask your school librarian or your VCE coordinator for a CD containing older exams.

Without any particular knowledge on Bio - I would say don't bother. It's not worth going back that far, you're going to be introduced to too many new concepts/ideas. You're better off doubling up/tripling up on completing relevant VCAA exams.

Some of the science has changed significantly since then and accordingly the course has changed as well.

There will be many things that aren't covered or covered differently. You'll most likely end up confusing yourself. No need to be totally hardcore, if you've done so many exams that you're at a point of having to go that far back, you're sufficiently prepared.
