Someone said that it would be good, because your studying for possible extended Q's in the 3 uni exams.

Yeah it could help in the last Qs of 3U exam. This section should differentiate between a high and low B6.

Yes, its stupid.

After you've done all the good stuff, waste your time on things more productive before you start doing that.

True, as Sino mentioned - brush up on the other topics before attempting harder 3u Qs as it is easier to acquire marks elsewhere.

it would help but only minutely, that the marginal effort for doing harder 3u questions give considerably less reward. your time is better is better spent on other things

do the major parts of 3U, no point doing the extremely hard parts of 3U because it is usually only worth 10% of the exam

better use with your time with other things
