+1
Insight exams have excellent suggested solutions, but their exams are by no means error-free.

Obviously it'd be the past VCAA exams, since they have the most similar feel. But having said that, you'd want to do the VCAA past exams last under test conditions.

I'd say practice other past exam papers, like Neap / Insight first. Then do VCAA past papers last. Good luck.

Yea i'll definitely be doing past exams, its a bit annoying though that the study design has changed this year. Was hoping that some trial exams from this year have new study design style of questions, but yea thanks!

Not too many changes this year (at least, a lot less than originally planned).

Sucks for people doing Accounting next year :P

I only used the past VCAA ones
IMO you should do all the past VCAA ones first (the earliest ones you can find, i started from ~2002 VCAA)
Other companies tend to use the same/similar q's as VCAA in their trials
