It's also recommended to try and do a few practice problems beforehand to get into the right zone of thinking - the thought processes required differ dramatically from VCE - there's a lot of first principles.

How much prep would you need?
My school randomly entered me in along with 10 or so others students. I did no prep whatsoever, as I was only concerned about learning the 1/2 course, and I found I couldn't answer most of the questions. The questions I did answer, I had to rely heavily on first-principles and making connections on the spot, but otherwise, I had no idea about how functional groups were meant to react and how "protective functional groups" were meant to work. LOL I didn't even know what redox reactions were back then, so I got totally raped. Somehow got Distinction >.<.

I see they've changed the website and only have 2007-9 papers.
Here's some more for anyone interested :)
