Sheeez. 3 + 4. I understand why you would cover unit 3 now, but it's a bit early for unit 4 imo - i would probably forget everything by the time semester 2 starts :/
+1.

Considered it for Unit 4 (Psych) but it's useless really and as this forum asserts: the amount of work you do doesn't always reflect in your SS. Besides you run the risk of getting severely bored!

Haha yeah I see what you mean. Though in my opinion I just love biology
and doing this enables me to explore the subject in a greater depth
by giving me the freedom to explore different textbooks such as the
IB's  ;D

Apparently some of their course pertains to our course work.

Not sure about stav, lisachem or insight

What do you mean?

In my opinion I thought that the STAV, Lisachem and Insight were quiet decent
conversely the TSSM exams were atrocious though  :P.

I liked the Lisachem ones, were usually fairly easy and straightforward. Neap and TSFX were kinda annoying cos they had irrelevant stuff. Insight was good. I was never really a fan of STAV and TSSM.

In order:
VCAA
STAV
Neap
Insight
TSFX
TSSM

Never looked at A+ or Lisachem ones (looked at an Insight, but never did it...)

Agree. Especially TSFX. Lisachem, also, tediously easy.

I agree with lexitu; TSFX has the most random, useless questions. To be honest, I just did all the VCAA ones, and very few of the others - like, maybe 2 each of CSE and STAV for each semester - they were so irrelevant and badly written that they were just a waste of time

And yet did so well in biology! So aside from the exams what else did you do to study for the subject?
