yup i'd definitely recommend it! just the relevant questions
if you're really lazy and can't be bothered, do the exams prior to 2010 from vcaa at the very least to give you an indication as to the types of questions they ask, and what sort of key words they look for and how they mark.

Definitely is worth doing, just make sure you identify which questions from the past exams are relevant to your own study design. Since I was in the first year of the new study design last year, my study relied on picking out questions from BOTH units of previous exams and practising them. Good luck!

Definately Do them. The questions for our study design are sectioned off very nicely in previous exams hence it is easier to find them as well. Just to as many questions as you can get your hands on!

for trial exams i think u should stick to 2011 and 2012 (when ur school purchases them). and of course for vcaa prev to 2011 attempt all of it thts necessary. I printed half of unit 3 and half of unit 4 from the old study design and made it into an exam :P
