Oh god projectile motion. Most of the time its a complete joke but sometimes I fail so hard, like 2011....only 3 marks, but damn.

I'm hoping for a good 6-7 marks on parametrics. Locus/Parametrics is always a joke in 3 unit. Reflective property anyone?
Hoping there will be a paranomials question

It will probably be like the 2u paper where the last question isn't the hardest.
I agree that in 4u the last one wasnt the hardest, but i think theyll save the hardest for last for 3u.
My predictions:
Overall difficulty: Easy-Medium
14(a) - throwback to the old geometry questions involving stationary points and trig in some way (5 marks)
14(b) - Rates of change (4 marks
14(c) - Binomial (6 marks)

I'm just hoping that the last question isn't some random result like last year.

That would be beautiful. They pretty much forgot about it in 4U, so here's hoping!
Wasnt there just Q10 for perms and combs in 4u? cant remember now.

Perms and combs of 3u arent bad doe, lots of "put this here, and then check arrangements, then put that there, and this there, and then check arrangements". Kinda simple compared to 4u. STILL WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE THEM just seeing them there gets me stressed lol.

The last question will be projectile motion I went to the future came back and then went to Mcdonalds and saw a future 2030 HSC marker showing the 2013-2029 3u HSC papers to me

There was Q10, plus that question later in the paper that should have been a Q11 in a 3U paper. It was a simple binomial probability haha.
And I can't stand perms and combs because the theory behind it is simple, but there's generally a shitload of restrictions that you have to account for, which can get insanely confusing.
