I have done 13. Do you feel they are helping you? I'm still so scared that I don't know everything.

Done about 7 papers at this point :) After a certain point this start to get repetitive and tedious :/

Completed 5, the rest I just planned for the larger mark questions, just find it way too tedious and an easy to way to 'burn out'

Done about 8 - 9. I got my last one VCAA (2010 I think) marked by my Aunty who is an examiner.  Got 60/60 so I'm feeling quietly confident. Now I can't be bothered doing anymore full ones so I'm just looking over notes and practicing 10 markers.

I think it's 50/50. You need all the knowledge from the course but you also need to learn and practice writing in timed conditions, understanding questions and structuring responses etc.

True, however you have to be able to correctly apply the material to specific questions in the way that they want you too. Doing heaps of practice exams ensures you can do this.

Heh - just remember guys, it's not about how many you do, it's bout how well you do them! I think I did like four open book exams and I netted an A (pity I took the same work ethic I had for the exam through all the SACs)
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

I have completed about 17 under exam conditions.

I do agree that it doesn't matter how many you do its well you do them and how much you get out of them. The review process is what matters the most and learning from your mistakes.

I really want to get over 40, well over 40 to would be great!
