when u say "external" do you mean the non-classroom thing - where all students are in some sort of hall/room sitting for the exam?
well, my prelims are next week and the week following. i dont know how difficult the questions will be but study everything that you have learnt this year. gluck! ;)

Sometimes past papers get used...or the different departments buy "packages" of exams.

Immodest? My school's faculties (excluding religion and English) just bought papers. That's why they were all piss easy. Nothing immodest about saying you did well in an easy paper. One would hope all would do well in such papers. It is no indicator of how well I would go in a hard paper and I am slightly annoyed because of that.

Um. Problem is that past papers for, like, English are useless, physics and chem - I've already written on them.

Maths is really the only one I can upload, and even for that all I have is a long, component A test (easy if you know the formulae - no component B or problem solving). My 3u test is certainly a bit different - it favoured componenet B and was harder.
