Try checkpoints, or studyon. But for checkpoints, my advice is try get your hands on an older copy, pre 2013. My logic behind this is the 2013 checkpoints SUCK compared to previous years, lucky I have older copies for all of my subjects.
Text book qs are okay, but a different "level" compared to sacs and exams

I wish you all the best of luck with your sac! :D

If you haven't already done so, grab a copy of Essential Maths and do the Extended Response Questions from the Chapter 4 Review. Those were difficult and were more than thorough preparation for my SAC. I would also recommend Extended Response Question 5 from the VCAA 2002 Exam. But I would leave any recent VCAA Exams alone because ideally you want to get the best out of them.
Best wishes for your SAC.

If you can get your hands on some Kilbaha papers I would suggest doing that.
Some people consider it to be 'above' VCAA standard but I think they're pretty fun to do, they're challenging but not un-doable.

I have. My first Analysis Task was 2 hours covering Circular Functions, Coordinate Geometry and Complex Numbers. 8 Extended Response Questions worth 85 marks

I had a SAC which was split into two parts; the first part was on vectors and coordinate geometry, while the second part was on complex numbers and circular functions. The vectors component was actually quite long; although it was out of only 40, I messed it up pretty badly. The complex numbers component was much easier and was out of 43. Maybe my school's SACs just aren't difficult generally, but I didn't find the complex numbers SAC to be any difficult at all, apart from an interesting question asking us to write sec x + i*csc x in polar form when x is in the second quadrant.
