I currently do:
-Standard English
-Maths 2U
-Maths 3U
-IPT
-Economics
-Physics

I obviously know past papers are the way to go for both Maths', and I don't really plan on doing past papers for English. But which subjects out of IPT, Economics, and Physics should I be doing past papers under exam conditions?

Although I already have started doing past papers for these subjects, I just wanted to know because I heard that past papers are not the best way to study for some subjects.

All of your subjects!
It's a good idea to practice writing timed English essays in response to either HSC/trial questions.

I don't know about the other subjects, but it's good to practice Paper 1 section 1 as well

ECO multiple choice and short answers are good, Maths of course, English just look at the short answers for paper 1 and observe what kind of questions they can ask for creative/essay.. Do same for paper 2 .. not too sure about science and ipt.

jks,nah all the science/maths based subjects require you to do past papers so that you can reinforce the concepts learnt
