When you read over the paper quickly, it SEEMS comparable to last years...
But this is what REALLY happen when you DO it! From a 2 Unit student's perspective.

STAGE ONE: Question 1 to Question 4. Yes, it's easy. No problem at all. Thinking I am going to get 95+ at least.

STAGE TWO: Question 5 to Question 7. OH NO.... I can only finish half from each questions. Feeling pressured. It's getting harder... Feeling the chance of 90 disappearing....

STAGE THREE: Question 8. NOOOOOO....only attempted 30% of the marks. Thinking I did the working out wrong as well....No chance of 80's....

STAGE FOUR - THE FINAL STAGE - Question 9 and 10. CRAP! Can't do 10% of questions. Attempted 9 and 10 part a) and found self did it wrong due to the tricky and challenging aspects of the paper. *snifts* Aiming for the 60's....

yeah i agree. on a first glance it is standard, but little things add up and it ended up being a lot harder. it's not like it was just me, or just you who thought this, it was even in the paper. i have not complained about any of my other exams, they were all standard, it's only this one which i felt was a lot harder than what i had practised.

"Bullshit", followed by "Fuck off".
I second that.

it was a hard test, but nothing unexpected really. if u kno ur maths content u woulda killed it.
btw, im a 3U student who is ranked 2nd last in my grade, and ranked around 50/200 2U kids... so i pretty much suck.
