Tough questions from trial exams

I've been getting lazy studying for physics cuz most questions are based on fundamental knowledge and concepts. So can anyone give me a  list of any hard/difficult questions from different trial exams. Thankx
2010: Methods
2011:English, Chemistry,Physics, Specialist, Further.

Download neap exams, they are usually more challenging than others...
Otherwise just filter through checkpoints

Itute's exams are probably the toughest ones.
2010: IT: Applications [43]
2011: English [34], Methods [42], Spesh [38], Chemistry [32], Physics [46]

ATAR: 97.45

really test your understanding

I wouldn't spent excessive amounts of time doing the hardest questions because there are 42 marks split into 23 questions for motion this year which tends to suggest they wont be super super hard

My thoughts would be the exact opposite. The hardest questions test your understanding the most, so I would suggest spending a lot more time on them, rather than wasting time on the really simple questions. For the most part there really isn't that much difference between the harder questions and the average level questions. It's usually you either know how to do this question or you don't know how to do it.

Occasionally I did come across one of the harder questions that was just completely irrelevant (like the simultaneous equations question in itute). But these kinds of questions were quite rare.

Ive done a shit tonne of simultaneous equations to find time in projectile motion... its so stupid -.-" but apparently they are unlikely to be asked.

as far as the scheme is concerned it seems to suggest that you will be pushed through a lot of it by step by step questions, things like apparent weightlessness and projectile motion questions that can be easily spread over multiple questions.

its also like 46 pages long, maybe a lot of graphs?

46 pages, but you have to remember that there are 2 detailed studies you are not doing.

2011:
Aims-
English 35, Further 45+, Methods 35, Physics 32, Turkish 33, Legal 28.

solving simultaneous equations to find t in projectile motion is maths, not physics.

writing two equations, one using conservation of energy, and the second using conser of momentum, is physics. So it is relevant.

i found itute quite difficult too but tssm is reasonably difficult at times but don't do them if you're looking for a real challenge
