I've done 13, and trust me it helps shitloads...
My timing has gotten a lot better, and it just makes you used to questions that are very likely to appear on the exam.

What else does everyone do for revision though? Not exactly sure what to do with only a couple of days left apart from read over notes D:
2011: Religion and Society [34]
2012: English (35+) Economics (38+) Legal Studies (40+) Further Maths (39+) VET Music Technical Production (35+)

There is not much else you can do except learning from your mistakes and reading over examiner reports which I find really helps :)

Yeah I'm going through all the questions I have been getting wrong on trial exams, getting those areas fixed up.
Also last years assessment report mentioned at the beginning areas that needed improving including:
- Civil pre-trial procedures
- Way in which courts/vcat operate to resolve disputes
- Precedent
- Changing constitutional power

I'm gonna take a punt and say these might be pretty important for this exam as people keep saying if something was done badly last year it generally gets reassessed the next year...

Look at the examiners assessment reports and make sure you are covered for the areas that people screwed up or lost easy marks on. :)

Very good idea  :)
Also not trying to worry anyone but last year was the first year of the new study design and the was nothing about protection of rights in another country and specifically on referral of powers, so kinda thinking they will be on the exam ... kinda hoping they are  :D

You could also mention how in the wake of the September 11 attacks, all States referred their power to legislate in regards to Terrorism.
