I would say no because you don't want to waste time redoing them in the VCAA exams. Checkpoints is only good for working on weak areas

I reckon it's worth it, a lot of the checkpoints questions are original ones i.e. non vcaa. So it's worth it.
Depending on how much time you have, i reckon you should definitely do checkpoints and vcaa exams :)

Checkpoints are past VCAA exam questions. I would do Checkpoints from 2007 and below first. Then use 2008+ as exams.

so.... do you guys think its effective if i go back to doing checkpoint questions only to reinforce my weak areas?

I seriously need to plan this out properly before I start as my other subjects are consuming so much time ...

Yeah that would be a good idea, but you are pretty much working on your weak areas if you keep doing exams.
