Best Practices: Use old provincial exam questions in your tests

After our pop-test the other day in class I remembered a Best Practice from my History 12 class back when I took it.

In the spirit of working "smarter, not harder" our teacher would download old provincial exams and compose all of our unit tests out of questions from them. There was enough exams online that he would just pick out all the questions that related to our unit. The format of these tests was also the same as the provincial exam (just shorter), Multiple Choice, Primary Source Question, Essay (or whatever it was). 

Best part of it was that we were more than ready for, and not stressed out by, the format  and testing style of the provincial!

 Also, I'm pretty sure you could do this with all subjects that still have a provincial.
