What's a really good Trial exam  for Chem? My class did the Neap 2010 one on Tuesday, that was a ball breaker! So another like that will be gr8:-X

Yeah its been unanimously seen that NEAP was *terribly* good for a trial exam. VCAA 2009 is actually decent, but not a trial *sigh*.

LOL! I'd recommend to get the Barry Revision Question Textbook - Chemistry 3/4 (Its about 400 Questions, on both AOS1/AOS2).
Its hard to get a copy of, so search hard, at practically all bookstores -its got some easy questions, but
more commonly, really tough, testing, and challenging questions. Usually they require you to relate the ideas, to gain a correct response.
PM me, if keen of a copy, and I'll give you the details of whom I purchased my copy from.

Forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but Neap is as challenging, if not harder than VCAA. I have never heard of Insight, I shall check them out.

Insights solutions would cause deforestation on a massive scale if printed. They are good for this.

I also expect Lisa Chem to be a zinger, they usually are ridiculous.

I never bothered to do the TSFX exams for Bio last year. They have some completely unrelated and unnecessarily difficult questions.

I wouldn't have had them printed if I knew the solutions were so damn big!
