Expose yourself to ALL sorts of questions, and maybe the tricky ones put into bound ref, if you're afraid you won't be able to do it again without looking at it

i find the easiest thing to do is to go to the tsfx lecture and get their notes (and like...they over EVERYTHING so you knwo ur safe) Do all teh question the the book, then get the notes binded togeather at officeworks/school for liike 5 bucks. Trust me, it's totally worth it, make it SOOOO much easier to acces the stuff when you need to.

As to refering to the notes, no, generally you don't, but it is useful if they throw something at you that is unexpected, e.g. last year there was aquestion on indenpendent events whihc is a yr 11 methods topic and i had no idea about it so i had to look it up in my notes. Apart form that, i did not touch my reference notes, except the front page which was my own formula sheet which i has scribbled all over adding extra formulas and other things that i needed to remember.
NOW THAT IS PURE GENIUS!!!

Not that a reference is really needed anyway but that's a great idea!!

Even if you don't use the reference at all in the exam, the amount of questions you would have done just to make that reference book will help you significantly. Also like people have said you can have mental blanks in the exam on a question that you might have put into your reference book. On the topic of finding the right question in your book shouldnt be too hard if you know your notes back to front which you should be able to if you organise it properly and did all the work yourself.
