Practice exams for Specialist

I feel like I know the content for Spesh pretty well, and as I see it I think my major aim should be to eradicate silly mistakes and manage 120/120 for VCAA papers. From experience/opinion, what number of exams should be enough if my first three prac exams were VCAA 2014, VCAA 2013, Heffernan with respective 117, 115, and 118/120?

Currently looking at 20-30 papers lol :D

You'll probably need to do 2 more, but even that might be too much.

I am approaching this purely objectively.
If you can consistently get scores like those on exams, you are fine. By no means do I suggest doing nothing until exams, but don't feel like you /have/ to get a "certain number" of exams done before you get there. Just make sure you don't slip between now and then by doing regular revision.
