How many exams should you do minimum for each subject?

Would you say 10-15?

Imo memorizing and learning key parts of the study design in depth and doing 10-15 practice exams PROPERLY (corrections made / mistakes written out with correct answers)  is better than doing 25+ prac exams (not including math subjects)


is this fair to say?

It depends on your ability and where you're at, nobody is the same, I know I did around 20 for each subject, I know students who did more exams than me but got a lower ATAR/study scores and I know those who probably did fewer but ended up doing better.

So it's certainly a personal thing.

As Paul said, it's up to the individual. I'm pretty sure I didn't do 20 prac exams for any subject, more like 15 for methods/spesh (more exam 1s), 15 chem, 4 english, and like 3 physics in the morning before the exam :P

According to someone from a study skills session we had, a minimum of 6, or 15 if you're aiming for 40+.
