Simply to put it, why are past papers so important? Can anyone explain, with detail as well please. Thanks.

After learning all your content through textbooks, you consolidate and practice with exam questions..

The questions in the textbook are not as hard as the ones in HSC, mainly because they are only one topic at a time, whereas in HSC, in one question they can test you concepts from multiple topic. So that's what you can get from practicing past papers but not from doing questions from textbook

^That. It is important to have a "feel" of the levels of difficulty of questions in different past papers. It is also important to make sure you do those papers under examination conditions, mainly to calm the nerves (more practice = variety of questions covered = time management skills = more relaxed approach coming into the examination.)

But for my ruse prelim past papers, most of them don't have time limits on them so i can;t do it under exam conditions :S

What??
Obviously you will have to be smart and set yourself a suitable time when completing the papers?

Ahh... ok, i'll try that. Thanks.

Oh and i don't recommend starting off with the Ruse papers. They are quite challenging to begin with.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks a lot.
