i have done 15 and judging from my performance on VCAA past exams i am capable of getting 45+ at this stage.

I got 49, and from my experience what you have to keep in mind is your quality of understanding. Could you explain it to your grandma? At least, that was how I went about it. Because that means that you know your principles extremely well, which, in truth, is all that you require.
Note VCAA exams tend to be exeedingly easy once you practise on NEAP, Kilbaha etc.

I agree we have to keep in mind its the quality of understanding but comparing that with explaining to grandma isn't suitable

I wouldn't take the phrase too literally He's not saying that you have to actually have to sit down with your grandma and try to teach her maths. The point is, if you can explain it to someone clueless and get them to understand, you'd need to have an excellent understanding of the concepts yourself.

In order to explain the concepts to anyone (which could be your grandma or any other example you could think of - your classmates, your parents, your younger siblings, your dog, Vladimir Putin and so on), you'd need to break it down in a series of very simple logical steps. In other words, the concepts would be exceptionally clear to you.

I've only done about 8 tech-frees and 5 tech-assists. I find that I can score 40/40 on most tech frees, yet I struggle to even get 70/80 on tech assist exams. I clearly need to practice extended response questions more... Also, some of the questions on itute exams are really hard. I agree that VCAA is much easier than those company exams.

Unfortunately, I only have access to VCAA, itute and MAV exams at the moment. How do you get Kilbaha exams? I remember having one of them last year before I knew the course, but I lost the file.

Keep working, I believe you can get 50

Ask your teacher for prac exams. They are hard as well but worth to do because you can learn a lot from Kil exams
