Commercial exams that follow the course most closely?

[thatisanote]

I'd like to hear your suggestions on 2 things:

1. Which exams follow the course closely and are in general 'good exams' (correct solutions etc)
2. Which exams will best prepare us for the exam? Most likely these will be the same as #1 but there may be some with harder questions that are actually good prep (not like iTute -.-)

I've asked this for Methods, Further and Physics

IMO,

VCAA
STAV
NEAP
INSIGHT (Even though lots of mistakes)
TSSM
LISACHEM

[Vincezor]

IMO,

STAV
NEAP

My teacher recommends these two. I'm not sure if there are electronic copies of STAV floating around; I know there are hardcopies in the library at our school, I'll probably borrow a set to photocopy when school's back.

Yeah, my teacher recommends STAV as well. He didn't seem to really like Neap (said he thinks they're too easy). I think there are electronic copies available from STAV on CD (though I think that's just previous years exams), but it looks like they price the hard copies cheaper.

There's a few old ones floating, haven't seen any of the current study design floating around. I don't think my school has extra copies of the STAV 2011 one, but I should be able to get a hold of 2009 and 2010.

It's too hard to judge, I personally don't mind Lisachem, I don't see why it's so hated, although I concede Insight and TSSM are rather easy. But all in all, I think they all follow the study design well and you're better off doing a variety

[Bozo]

Yeah I don't mind Lisachem either, they are more difficult though and i've noticed questions are sometimes quite different to VCAA styled questions. Nonetheless, if you have time, by all means do them.

Yepp, defs, it's always good to have a lot of exposure, which is what we should aim for, cause I personally don't think one exam company is better than the other, obviously they all base their questions on VCAA questions of the past and what they think will be on the exam (:

Please inform the Prime Minister when they arrive.
