Which company trial exams are worth doing?

I'm starting exams soon and I was wondering which company trial exams most closely simulate the difficulty and style of the VCAA ones. I know for methods the TSFX ones can contain quite unorthordox qns, what about spesh? Which exams are/aren't worth wasting paper printing out and doing

TSSM, NEAP, Insight, Kilbaha are all very good.
i agree with you that TSFX have some weird questions so i would steer clear from them.
Itute exams tend to be quite a challenge however they also have some weird questions.

TSFX tends to deliberately make their exams harder than VCAA level in order to scare students into buying tickets to their lectures.

And if you can get your hands on some IARTV exams they're well worth doing.
