Would not recommend Kilbaha. I don't think they'd ever ask you to sketch a log function in a Further Mathematics exam, and I did a trial paper that asked you to do that for Further Maths. Another trial paper I did for Kilbaha, all the Graphs and Relations questions were about transformations of graphs. It is not a good paper to do, will really hurt your confidence, unneccessarily.

I recommend you begin with Heffernan. These are the best to begin with because relative to other companies, I found heffernan to be the easiest. I'd then do MAV and NEAP. I didn't really like Engage or Insight, and itute were kind of the same as MAV.

1. Heffernan
2. itute
3. MAV
4. NEAP
5. VCAA

Thanks yehh ive already done the engage and almost done insight didnt really like them, when do you reccommend doing the vcaa exams as ive still got quite a few itute, neap and mav exams left. I was planning on doing them in a few weeks then a week before exams doing 2 vcaa exams a day. What do you think?

Hardest
1. NEAP
2. MAV
3. Heffernan
4. VCAA

I found NEAP unnecessarily tedious
MAV and heffernan were both of a good calibre
As for the other companies, I have no idea because i didnt do them

Id recommend doing early VCAA ones first (2008-2011) then some MAV, Heffernan ones, followed by VCAA 2012 and 2013
