Start three weeks before the first exam. If you have less time, shorten each week but keep the order: find the gaps, fix them, then practise under exam conditions.
Week 1: find the gaps
Have your child sit a practice exam on the year's topics under exam conditions: timed, no notes. Mark it with the worked solutions and write down the topics where marks were lost. That list is the revision plan.
Week 2: fix the gaps
Take the two or three weakest topics and do a full topic test on each. Read the worked solution for every wrong answer, then try a fresh question on the same idea a day later. Short sessions (30 to 40 minutes) on most days beat one long one.
Week 3: practise like the real thing
Sit a second mixed practice exam, timed. Redo every question that's still wrong the next day, without looking at the working first. In the last two days, only light review and a good night's sleep.

Most secondary schools hold them in Term 4, usually from late October to early December. Dates vary between schools and states, so check your school's calendar or ask your child's maths teacher.
Usually most of the year's topics: number and algebra, measurement and geometry, and statistics and probability. Schools choose the mix and the weighting, so ask the teacher whether a revision sheet or topic list is available.
Two to three weeks of short sessions on most days works well for an end-of-year exam, so every topic gets revisited at least twice. The three-week plan on this page is a good starting point.
Yes. Enter your email to make a practice exam (one a day, free). Every topic test is free too: you'll see the first four questions on the topic page, and the full test with its answer key is emailed to you.
Yes. Every topic follows the Australian Curriculum for its year level, and every answer was worked out and then checked a second time, independently, before it was published.
That's where the real improvement is. Read the worked solution, then try a fresh question on the same idea a day or two later. The Tuterly app does this for you: snap the question they got wrong and it writes new ones on the same idea until it's mastered.
Tuterly turns every missed maths question into practice tailored towards the student, not just a generic worksheet.
