VCAA, NEAP, ATAR Notes and KBT are all good if you're short for time :) Insight, CSE, Chemology, Lisachem, Engage, STAV are others to keep in mind. Just don't waste time on TSFX and TSSM.

Why is TSFX and TSSM too easy ?

Not easy, they're just crap. TSSM has poor wording and TSFX are out of the course for some parts.

To put it simply, I question why TSFX and TSSM bothered to write those exams in the first place...

Well, despite how much I (and others) try to dissuade people from attempting them early in the year, some people fall for it and do them anyway. Hence they make money because schools know and the companies know that such people exist.

Which are the hardest exams?
I am told that KBT and Lisachem are very hard-plan to do them tomorrow. Is Chemology necessary or should I do Neap from 2009 instead. Can you list other than Neap, Atarnotes and KBT which are the best exams to do in order of preference.
Thanks

If your not confident maybe just do KBT open book and untimed with solutions in front of you? Use it as a learning experience.

Just do KBT for kicks. (if you have time) Otherwise you can't go wrong with NEAP, whereas STAV's solutions aren't as detailed
