i would have to say 1994, the 3-d trig absolutely destroyed me, instant lose 5 marks. LOL

surprisingly one of my best scores was in 1993, 81/84 the last one was tricky but not impossible, well except the LAST question. 0<x1<45, 0<x2<45 yeah that was really ticky

Am I one of the few people who thought the 2006 paper wasn't that hard? :S
I mean when I did it and discussed with friends at school, they thought it was alright.
I was actually surprised to read an article that said that paper was so hard...lol. The only question that strikes as difficult in my opinion was the projectile motion question, which is usually the case every year.
In my opinion, I don't think there was one stand out difficult paper, they were roughly similar from my perspective. I usually found trial papers to be far more difficult than them.

I still remember the night before 3u or 4u exam you asked a question concerning a circle geometry question that was exactly the same as the circle geo question in the hsc exam paper lol

2006 was a different paper to the rest, not overly difficult though

I cant believe everyone thinks 06 was the hardest. It was jsut as hard as any other. I actually got my second best mark in it.

ppl judge the difficulty of paper based on q6 and 7. So the ppl that dont like rates of change wud say its hard and so on..

lol 2006 wasn't hard at all. just very long and tedious algebra (differentiation) but not difficult (in terms of 'what step to take')

the induction was very nice though, i liked it.
