No practice exams ... should I buy them?

I've recently realized that, compared to other schools, my school (DECV) has somewhat fewer practice exams available for most subjects I'm taking. In the case of Specialist, we have all Heffernan papers dating back to like 2008, but none from other companies. (that's about it!). Compared with other schools, e.g. Caulfield, as I know someone from that school.
Given my current performance on VCAA and Heffernan papers (these are all I've done so far), what would be your opinion on this? Should I be worried about getting more practice exams? or should I get by with the free ones e.g. Engage or iTute?
How would you recommend I use them? With full time + reading or just as fast as possible?

That kind of score is amazing. That's like my score range after 110 practice exams......
I don't think you'll need to do any more personally if you can do that well already...
