Checkpoints: New or old?
« on: November 27, 2010, 01:37:09 pm »

I was wondering if I should get the older version of checkpoints and if it would be better. Because I was thinking.. If I got like the 2008 checkpoints, it wouldn't have exam questions from 2008 onwards so I can do the actual papers under exam conditions. And since the older exams have the older questions from like 2004 and stuff like that, it would be good because I wouldn't end up doing exams that old anyway.

So thats just what I thought.. but then I'm not sure. New or old? :\

Go for the older ones. They're cheaper and you can just get the new paper off the vcaa website easily. I was looking through my checkpoints 09 for chem and my friend's 2010 one and they were basically identical. Only difference was that the 09 paper was at the back. I think 2008, 2009 and 2010 are probably the best to get. I wouldn't bother with 2011 unless it's a new study design.

2008 is fine I think.

Checkpoints sure does make alot of money for simply taking questions which are otherwise free.

IMO it doesn't really matter. The new ones are the same as the old ones - the questions are just recycled with different figures. I had both 2010 and 2007 Checkpoints for Accounting and they were very similar - except for the VCAA exams at the back. As shilayli06 points out, you can just download the newer exams from the VCAA website.

How true is that, makes me regret buying check points now :-\

but I guess it's the work solutions that worked for me-at least for chem.
