It identifies areas of weakness so you can work on those items, mine was mainly around the physics questions as it's not something I've done for a few years and all to be fair is GCSE level, noting harder.
Personally the FAST test is the one that will help you the most in addition to the others, if I had gone straight into a test without the 5 trial ones it would have been evil
Also be looking to share a house near to CAE if anyone is in the same boat

Hey Josh. I just purchased the Symbiotics yesterday and it has definitely relieved some pressure from me. How much preparation did you do for stage 2?
When did you start preparing for it?
I am planning on taking my stage 2 next month if all goes to plan! Do you think that is enough time to prepare myself for it?
Have you attended any of the CAE open days?
