When To Use Exampro?

[Unblemished]

Good evening,

I bought exampro for spesh and was wondering when I should start completing it. Should i save it all right before sacs or work through them progressively?

Warm regards

I didn't do Spesh but I bought the exampro guides for Biology, Methods and Accounting. 

Personally I think previous SACs from your school will be the best "study tool" to work through before your SACs as they will most likely be on a similar level of difficulty with similar questions. I worked through the Exampro guides about a month before my exams as a revision tool as I tend to forget things quickly, I think it's extremely effective in testing what areas you are familiar with and what areas you need to improve on, hence targeting specific areas, saving you a crap load of time going over things that you already know.

However, it is up to you how you want to utilise it. Everyone learns differently and those extra topic tests from Exampro may boost your SACs tremendously.

Good luck

Thanks for that! Would you rather use vcaa papers / company for exam revision or exampro? Im a  bit torn between what people have said about using stuff like exampro / A+ notes. Some have said use it all year whilst some have said to use it right before the exam.

No worries. I used company papers, exampro as well as VCAA exams for exam revision. I started off with exampro's topic tests to get a feel of what I needed to improve on, and then did the first 2 practise exams untimed and the rest timed. Then I moved onto company papers from easiest to hardest, eventually I did a few VCAA exams. It may sound like a lot of work but it's really not that bad if you maintain a balance between school and other activities (work, friends etc). A little off-topic but I started watching Dance moms about 3 weeks before my first exam and pretty much pulled all-nighters just so I can finish all 4 seasons and somehow I still ended up with a somewhat decent ATAR..

If you can manage your time effectively then by all means do as many practise exams as possible. If not, then I definitely recommend focusing on the VCAA exams as they are the most accurate representation of what the actual exam will be like.
