we only have 9 in our class, 3 are 4 unit. im a pretty good 3u student, but that's relative. i think it was hard, but as expected. i figure if i can do q's 1-5, anything after that is a bonus. i did half of 6, half of 7. but i had a couple of smaller problems earlier (ie q3) so on a random guess 60/84.

I think people have to realise that they have to make the exam long and difficult as we are competing against 4u students. In saying that i don't think it was much more difficult than the past years exams

It is kinda like us for 2unit i guess, we might think it is easy as we do a strp higher in maths than the regular 2 unit students.

i was just there for a good time. I found watching the fans on the ceiling very interesting for my leftover time (2hours).

Too many mistakes

Damn, i just made a hell of a lot of stupid mistakes. Before the paper i looked at 03 and decided to finish it. Once i was on Q7, i found it imposible. I reakon i would have been way better off not attempting Q7 and just earning about full marks in 70/84 in the rest of the paper cos that is a definite E4, thats my recomendation to all future 3U students doing the 3U paper

I absolutely hated it. Was definetly my worst exam yet (havent had a bad run, considering i only have one exam to go)..... I'll be lucky to pull a 58% max!
3 Unit just didnt work for me this year, I've become prone to panic attacks in ext1 assessment tasks..whoops! I managed to stay reasonably calm in this one...unlike the guy next to me... i had to bite my lip to stop myself cracking up at his disgruntled sound!
What an evil evil exam!!!!
Grr. Die Board Of Studies!
