Order of practice exams

[BambooPanda]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for exams to do in order of difficulty. Also does anyone know how far back you can go with U4 exams?
Any input would be appreciated, thank you!

Hmmm...I go as far back as 1997. But then that was when the course was different (and sections of Unit 3 were combines with Unit 4) so at the start of the year, I needed to go through the study design and categorise them all for the present day. In general, I have found, the later ones (I'm talking 1999 back) are slightly easier.

I start with Insight, Stav, Neap, then try VCAA. I normally do Thushan's book in-between then as well.

You might not want to go too far back. I'm assuming you're in year 12 and will have other subjects, if you go too far back you might not have enough time to do the more recent ones, which are more relevant to the current study design. I'd say probably stay within the 2008-2012 range.

Yeah, to expand on what the above said, stick with exams from 2008 on wards, at least until you have none left. Exams prior to that will have several questions which are irrelevant to the Unit 4 material in the current study design. Perhaps, as you get closer to the Unit 4 Chem exam, you can do VCAA papers from previous study designs, but otherwise just do company/VCAA papers which are pertinent to the current model. There are well over 40 out there, which should keep you more than busy.
