Yea that's how people study for maths anyways. Past papers is the way to go. Do combined trials + hsc.

Many questions are similar, or have the same concept with a similar approach. If you do past HSC papers, you will see.

I have summaries on every topic i go over those to make sure i remember the formulas and look at a few examples to see the working involved.
Also lots and lots of past papers. I do 1 a day pretty much. I'm working on speed. The quicker i can solve the problems correctly the better.

But going too fast can result in silly errors.

Ext 1 exam you only get 2 hours of time for a test thats the same length as the other 3 hour maths exams.
Yes going fast can result in silly errors, but if you practice and perfect your maths skills you shouldn't do any silly mistakes.
Hopefully you'd finish the exam maybe 5 or 10 minutes early to leave time to check back for silly mistakes anyway.

Not really. In the old format, it was 1.43 minutes per mark for MX1 and 1.5 minutes per mark for MX2. If they were both out of 100, then MX1 would be 2 hours 23 minutes long and MX2 would be 2 hours 30 minutes long. So you only get an extra 7 minutes in MX2, likewise with normal Maths.

In the new format, it's 1.71 minutes per mark for MX1 and 1.8 minutes per mark for MX2. If they were both out of 100, MX1 would be 9 minutes shorter.

So either way, MX1 isn't a 3 hour exam put into 2 hours. For the 4U student, MX1 shouldn't be terribly difficult to complete in the 2 hours.

that is true to be honest, I finished my trial in 1 hour and half and i got 83%. Obviously my downfall was silly mistakes which I couldnt see for the remaining half hour
