saving VCAA exams till last?

[STUDENT4]

Leave 2010's paper till last and by that I mean around a week+ (not a few days!) before the exam. Do the rest as soon as you can... and if you manage to get hold of some commercial exam papers do those, afterwards, go back to the VCAA ones if you have nothing else to do/have more time and redo them to see if you've improved. Correct areas that you're still weak in, polish up and you will be fine!

They don't produce much commercial exams for legal, do they??

Yes, I would leave the VCAA exams til last as they're the closest thing to the actual exam. It's worthwhile going over them prior to the actual exam to get a feel for the sorts of questions they ask. As for exams, besides the VCAA exams, I know Insight, TSSM, NEAP and CPAP all produce Legal Studies exams. In comparison to other subjects, I agree, there are not that many exams.

I think (for any subject) it's important to expose yourself to a VCAA exam very early on so you are aware of what you need to direct your study towards (in terms of content, question types etc.). But once you have done one VCAA exam, maybe, then I think it's a good idea to use them wisely as they're your best resource - i.e. gradually do them over the period you have until the exam.

I used to do 4-5 trial papers, then the oldest vcaa exam that was relevant. Then another 4-5 trials, then a vcaa, etc etc, and always leave the 2010 vcaa exam for about 4 days before your actual exam, and sit it as if it were the 2011 exam. That way, you can actually use the vcaa exams to gauge your improvement
