Reading examiners reports?

A lot of people say that reading the examiners reports is extremely helpful. How should I go about doing this?

Do I read them in conjunction with the completed practise exam? Should I only read the parts that are applicable to me (ie. the questions I struggled with or got wrong) or should I read the whole thing?

How do you guys use these reports? :) TIA

For maths its useless, for humanities and english subjects, they tell you how they want you to do the exam, and they tell you what they like, which is pretty cool, because in the end u know how to maybe impress the examiners.

Yep, for maths just use it to see where you may have gone wrong, but for humanities it's actually a wealth of information. Hardly useless at all. Would highly suggest going through it in its entirety for stuff like English. It's like a free class from the assessors :)

In regards to Maths, just use itute solutions since they're much better than the VCAA solutions.

I also recommend going through FAQ's from VCAA since they can clear up a few things too (an example is Biology)
