I don't think there really are any tricks to knowing when you've found all of them. For me I tend to stop looking once I start drawing out repeats.

haha not really, i am much more able to do them now though since im in y13. its all about practice ngl and questions where you have to find an isomer arent that frequent and theyre only worth 1 or 2 marks anyway, just practice and youll be good
