How much harder or easier than last year? some 2022 and 2023 q13/14 was kinda wtf for me so im praying its not as difficult this year
or they could make it impossible
thoughts?

 

[doctorhayman]

are you joking? 2022 and 2023 were in no way difficult. in fact, i'd say that they were on the easier side when you place them in comparison with the rest of the 3u papers, especially if you compare them with the really old papers back when the old syllabus was still a thing. that being said, if you truly find them hard, i'd recommend just skimming through Cambridge as 2022 and 2023 were essentially just ripped straight from there. in terms of what is going to happen this year, i reckon that they are going to make it much harder, since they have been quite lenient for the past few years.

I meant most of Q14 and some bits of Q13 in 2023
Q11 and Q12 are always samey

there will probably an easy vector question this year (that's what I'm hoping) maybe a tough projectile motion question, they haven't asked those in a while

 

[shoulfer]

yea def a tough proj mot

 

[doctorhayman]

Tougher than that one question from 2022? The videogame one I think

maybe, the whole 2022 paper was quite hard imo so was 2023 (Q13 and Q14 at least) so hopefully they take it easy on us this year

that wasn't too bad I reckon the vector proof before it was the hardest in the paper. this one:

I don’t think there will be a projectile motion question this year. It’s been done to the death. They have not examined balancing of forces in extension 1 and it’s definitely in the syllabus. That’s my tip this year. See Q 15 part a 2022 ext 2. I think they will have a similar slightly easier question.

the force balancing stuff is way too easy its not q13 or 14 material even at its hardest

idk i feel like volumes havent been tested well either, may be time for a retarded volumes question but idk. nor has induction come up yet as a genuinely hard question.

what do you mean volumes, the modelling flow using differential equations??

 

[shoulfer]

if you have any genuinely hard induction questions please send, only one I've seen was one on when induction doesn't work which was weirdly conceptual

maybe that but the volume of solid of revolution qs, like a graph is rotated around the x axis, find the volume shit. normally it aint hard but idk since it hasnt been featured in q13 or q14 yet in the new syllabus, it may happen this yr idk

I don't and thats the problem, because knowing those bums at nesa, they will somehow like somehow manage to make some tweaky asf question.

oh yea, its a bit hard to make that hard, only thing that they can really make hard are some vector proofs and projectile so they end up putting them twrds the end of the paper

yea fr ill have to scan thru past papers than

i cant share the paper here, but this years neap paper had a q14 induction question. matter of fact, even last yr they had a q14 question for induction. both are trig and both are easy and basically just the usual 'sample' trig induction questions.

if its some retarded binomial proving shit or perms and comms, im gonna literally shit my pants

yea trig induction is actually often easier since it simplifies down really nicely most of the time
