This post is basically just to direct you to some practise exams. Feel free to add more.

VCAA Exams and Assessment Reports
This one should be obvious by now :D. The new study design came in 2005, so any exams before that may have irrelevant material. I'd advise you to do the ones before 2005 as well though, because there are some good questions on there. If you know the study design you should be able to figure out which questions you don't need to answer, but if you're unsure (sometimes the study design is pretty vague...) you can always ask on FSN.

I also have other hard copy exams that have been written on. I can possibly scan those in and then edit the files so that the writing isn't on there. I can also scan in the questions from the Psych Notes books as well as a few other study guides. But I will only do these things if requested.

There may be mistakes in some of the exams, so again, if you're unsure you can always post a discussion about it.

Good idea Eriny. I think I have the 2007 STAV exam which I will post when I get back from holidays. Be extremely wary with STAV exams. They are very often not consistent with the difficulty of the VCAA exams. This can be a good thing, but it can damage confidence if you do not perform as well as you expect to on these considerably more difficult exams.  STAV often try  to word their questions in a similar fashion to the wording of chemistry and biology, which can be a significant grievance to psychology students who are not accustomed to questions which are posed in a fashion which is contrary to the way that VCAA deliver their questions.  Also be careful with TSSM which produce which are ridiculously easy and ask obvious questions.  It is therefore imperative that you take advantage of VCAA papers and don't waste them.  Check out the assessment reports which are found alongside the exams, as VCAA are obsessed with re testing concepts which students have not handled particularly well in the part.  Let these reports be your psych bible.

lol, yeah. TSSM is a confidence boost. Maybe it's a good idea to do one of those after a STAV one :D

And agreed that the assessment reports are pretty much vital if you want to get a good mark. One of the short answers and one of the multiple choice on the 2007 end of year was almost the same as a 2006 questions which many people failed to answer correctly.

How does having multiple choice make an exam easier? Nothing to be scared of? I would of thought it was quite normal to be anxious about a VCE exam.

multiple choice, atleast for psychology, definitely makes things easier to a degree.  there is no need to carefully word your answers to answer the question correctly and as shown in vcaa exam assessments, is the most easily accessible section of the exam.

the distribution of students mainly occurs throughout the short answer section.
