Title: Question regarding practice exams
Post by: Rairiko on May 23, 2011, 08:27:45 pm: Now in the process in starting to do practice exams and wondering whether I should do the older ones first (2007) or start with the 2010 ones and what companies should I attempt first?

Am I the only person on ATARnotes who thinks doing VCAA exams first is a brilliant idea?

Nah I agree, great to see the difficulty/type of Qs asked, but I would do them at the very start and very end, with commerical filling the middle.
