did any 4u students find this paper hard? (3 Viewers)

[mathslover]

i do 4u and i lost so many marks!! edit: in the 3u ppr
mainly cz i ran out of time!!!
anyone else?

 

[hked]

not hard imo, time may have been a constraint, but generally pretty standard stuff

 

[poWerdrY]

yeh, i found it hard too. too long

 

[sonnylongbottom]

some bits couldnt do but yes time an issue

 

[miche11e]

i thought it was pretty reasonable...
i used 4unit methods for some q's though.
it was a good paper, but different from past papers, much like the 4 unit paper was.

 

[sakaki.kun]

Yea, i found it hard in terms of not having enough time

 

[cccclaire]

yes.
I hated it.

Also, I didn't prepare nearly enough for 3u, I found myself losing so many easy marks because i didn't study for 3u.

=[

ive fukd my UAI. i estimate myslef to get about 60% for this paper

 

[le-foot]

Nope, I found it rather easy...

And I live in regional NSW too... hmm...

*Prays to .. someone.. that I didn't majorly f**k it up*

Then again, i got a lot of the questions out... so.. i dunno, but it didn't feel that hard

 

[kooltrainer]

the paper was hard compared to previous years... excluding 04,05

 

[nrs1990]

I didn't find it too bad -- but that's probably because I'm comparing it to the 4u paper, which was... hard.

 

[vds700]

overall, not too hard, just long, ran out of time so didnt finish Q7

 

[Kujah]

Time constraints I guess.

 

[miche11e]

haha i trained myself for this - i was doing past papers in an hour so that i knew that i'd have time even if it was taking me longer than expected - i learnt from trials. I finished about 20 minutes early so i had time to go back.
Hopefully this pays off in my marks...
what do people think they got?

 

[proringz]

I did the integration on q.1 with the sin squared and cos using a substitution, couldn't be stuffed any other way

 

[henry08]

I would have done better with more time.

 

[conics2008]

Time issue not hard

 

[erm]

I did the integration on q.1 with the sin squared and cos using a substitution, couldn't be stuffed any other way

what was the answer?

 

[miche11e]

and i also used a bit of circle geometry in that locus q
i proved it was a cyclic quad and so MK=ML cos they were equal radii

thats how i did it.
that question was the same as one in 2005, so you can look there for solutions
