Well I have no firsthand knowledge, but I know someone who has said that TSFX's exams are harder than VCAA's exams, and that he frequently gets lower in their exams while doing much better in VCAA's, if that helps.

I found that they were (in some areas) irrelevant to VCE, so you'd score badly not because youre bad at physics, but because the paper didnt have much to do with what you've learnt

Either way continue doing a broad variety of papers from different companies! That's the best way to prepare for the exam if you think you have covered the course sufficiently :)
