Ideal number of practice exams before an exam?

[bomb]

I'm planning on:

- 22 for Methods
- 12 for Physics
- 15 for Chem
- 6 for Psychology
- 5 for English
and 2 for Multimedia (since there aren't any bar previous years exams).

What do you think?

[physics]

do u do the most for methods because u like methods are because u want to focus on it?
maybe a balance?

[bomb]

Oh, theres two exams for methods, thats why I'm doing that many
Plus, I'm not too confident with methods.

[happyhappyland]

20 for methods
20 for bio
20 for chem
10 essays on each section for english...

Takes me 4 hours to do exam 1 and 2 methods cos im really noob...
Takes me about an hr for bio and chem so that saves me 30mins each.

Essay takes me an hour and  half for each..

shit i better get studying

as many as it takes until you get to a level which you are happy with?

its not necessarily the quantity but how you use the exams to help you learn.
you should be trying to pinpoint your weaknessess and amend these as soon as possible.
I think 20 of each should be enough if you use them properly.
My aim is:
24 - chemistry
15 - legal
40 - methods
20 - english + (20 extra text responses)

Wow that's a lot guys, I may have to pick up the number.

Btw, where are you guys printing these exams out? Ive got a few thousand pages - will cost a couple hundred in printing.

I'm pretty sure there's a number of exams beyond which any more practice exams have minimal benefits. It varies for person to person, but I'll say it's about 15.

Yeah, for maths/science, this is pretty much what I'm aiming to do.
