Unit 3 Past Paper Situatuion

Hi Guys,
How many practice exams should I do?
I have done all U3 VCAA questions but I haven't started on any U4 content. As its close to end of holidays, should I begin to get ready for Unit 4 or do some U3 other company papers before school begins? OR do you think it is more advisable to start U4 and do a few past papers a week in term 3 ?
Thanks

Start getting an idea of the Unit 4 content but I would also advise you to be continually revising U3 during term 3 by doing maybe 2 practice exams a week and correcting them.

So kinda try to do both.

People generally believe Unit 4 is the  easier unit so it won't take as much time to get through everything.(this may vary from person to person)

Make sure you don't rush just to start practice exams since going slowly and obtaining a detailed understanding is much more beneficial than finishing everything superficially.

Yes absolutely start unit 4 but I would read through some of the concepts first. If you went any head start lectures that would have been great but otherwise try doing some unit 4 questions first. Also do at least one unit 3 questions everyday to help you retain your knowledge and read over unit 3 concepts every now and again

Depends what you like i guess. Unit 3 is more theory and Unit 4 is very applied.  :)
