Title: Kinda random but...

When you do trials you do exam 1 then 2 together right? you don't just do like 10 exam 1 then 10 exam 2?

Even if you ask a million questions, you're not going to find a method that's going to assure you a good score.
Just try things out yourself because other people's preferences aren't going to help you in any way. Try an exam 1 and follow it up with an exam 2 ( when you eventually reach this stage). Can you manage it? Is the 1st exam affecting your performance on the 2nd exam? Do you find it better to do them with a break in-between? ( Remembering they are two different exams, with different style questions) Basically, you're worrying about things that you don't need to because 1. you probably won't get up to this stage for a very long time and 2. It doesn't matter what method you take.

Methods exams are usually spaced apart.  Exam 1 is usually on a Friday and exam 2 is usually on the following Monday...  If that helps with your judgement.

I just did whatever I felt like at the time, if I couldn't be bothered going to get my calculator I would do an exam 1 :p

I liked doing exam 1s better than exam 2s. This might be a bit of a problem, because you may not want to attempt exam 2s at all. Thus I forced myself to do one exam 1 and another exam 2. In all, it really depends on how it suits you, so long as you prepare for both exams.
