For Four unit? All since 2000...so 7. Also a couple of trials and some sample exams from textbooks. Haven't done nearly as much for Three unit, but that's not first...

About 10 trials. Plan on doing about 10 HSC's and 2 more trials before the exam :).

When I did the HSC I did around 100+ papers for 3u, 60+ for 4u but I only did the questions that really looked like it may be similar to HSC style questions. No point in doing every single question since most of qs from 1-4 are easy, so really just pick out the hard oens and do them that way you are using your time more efficiently

2 reasons i dont do this.

1. Im a perfectionist i cant just go passed a question.
2. I actually lose a lot of my marks early i have been getting 13,14 and 15s on 5,6,7 and 10-14 depending on how hard it is on 8. But been getting 12s and 13s on questions 1-4 except intergration and somtimes graphing. Its pretty annoying.

My sticker chart tells me I have done 12 for 4u and 7 for 3u.

I've also done quite a few questions out of this 4u book I have with questions from papers 1988-1998 sorted by topics. =]


Despite that, I'm still getting exactly the same marks as I got in my trial =[ Although I am quicker, which is better =]
