Harder 3U is the worst topic, by far. Even dreaded mechanics has no questions of similar evilness to compete with harder 3 unit.

A question which requires binomial expansion in n, fancy algebra fiddling, inequalities work, combined with harder integration and harder probability that takes half an hour to do is worth more than 4 marks. -_-"

imo hardest ext 2 topics are circle geometry and resisted motion/mechanics .. like my brain just goes mental blank if i seen one of these questions ... oh yeh probability too =|

i kno wot u mean , but then q 8 can have some nasty complex numbers...mechanics, volumes and harder 3u is wot i need to do today, plus some past papers :S shit its gonna b a long day cant wait til 2moro arvo when its all ova

Ai me too.

You know conics, mechanics and volumes is actually some of the stuff I partially understand (because I was actually present somewhat when it was taught in class) despite it being the harder topics. I've got integration, complex and graphing all pretty done good.

Hmm wait, looking through he textbook that's pretty much all the topics there are! Then WHY THE HELL CAN'T I UNDERSTAND WHAT MOST OF THE QUESTIONS ARE EVEN ASKING IN THE TEST (2003)!

Oh well, here's hoping I can pull a 50% out of the bag on monday.
