Doing pre-06 exams (old study design)?

Should we do these (VCAA only)?
I feel like they might be more useful than doing say a heffernan 2008 exam.

If so, is there anything we should know? e.g. which qs not to do?

The content is pretty much the same, except the format of the exam is different.

i.e 2002-2005
Exam 1 - 90 minutes - 27 MC and then some SA

Exam 2 - 90 minutes - 4/5 Extended Response questions

2006-2010
Exam 1 - 60 minutes - ~10 SA questions

Exam 2 - 120 minutes - 22 MC and 5 Extended Response Questions

The only thing that you should really know is that many CAS techniques didn't exist back then, so some of the questions (especially solve questions) will seem very simple if you're using your CAS.
