Does printing out past exams and doing them by hand more beneficial then just doing it on, lets say a computer? I really want your opinion from past year 12'ers.

Thanks

Well seeing as you do the real exams on paper, I'd say it would be more beneficial for the purpose of mimicking the exam conditions. But if you're having difficulties in getting paper copies I'm sure doing them on your computer would still be beneficial.

If I do one on the computer, I find that reading and answer then checking the answer that I "cheat" myself and don't really concentrate on what I am learning. On paper, going through it and marking, I find it much better to compare my written answer to the solution.

Perhaps do all the company papers from your computer and then print out past VCAA papers/new company papers and complete them in the two weeks leading up to the exam?
