commerical paper rankings?

[Rod]

Shocking exams (don't waste your time on these):
-iTute (a lot of stuff out of course and quite hard(
-engage..........do not engage with these exams for Physics
-TSFX
Good exams (similar to VCAA):
-Lisachem
-TSSM
-Insight
-Stav
-IARTV (i luv these ones..)
Hard Exams (all the more you should try to do it!)
-Neap
-Some lisachem ones

Hey Ian! Rod here, hope you've been well .

Off topic, but was wondering what the best chem exams were as well. I've been doing STAV and Lisachem which were good. But now I've been doing the NEAP ones and am finding them hard. Did you end up doing most of the neap ones?

Thanks!!

I personally think STAV , IARTV , Lisachem are the best, because they have a reasonable level of difficulties. And they are very close to the actual exam.
However, Neap on the other hand... It's known for challenging... but sometimes not the kind of challenge you need for your exam.
Neap often mislead people in their exam, hence make the question harder for people. But sometimes they just end up having sentence that's totally non-sense, and wasting valuable times.

However, you should ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU FINISH ALL VCAA PAPERS, it has to be your priority.

Thanks Asterio

I think I'll keep doing the NEAP ones though, but I won't bother going through any super hard/crappy questions that are unlikely to be in the exam. Like if I can do the NEAP, VCAA which I am saving for last should be easy.

[Jason12]

which papers are the easiest and which are hardest in comparison to VCAA? I would like to start doing the easier ones first because some I've tried are very difficult.

My teacher said that i should do TSSM and insight and STAV first cause they are easy and then gradually build to CSE and NEAP, and should do the VCAA ones last cause they will be the most simliar difficulty to the exams

STAV will be a good choice, then try IARTV. They all have detailed working out solutions, so you will understand how you should have approach the question, this is just in case you had no idea what to do.

But please keep in mind, those practice paper do sometime has errors in their solution, as well as in their question. Ask your teacher/tutor if it doesn't make sense to you.
