I don't think so. It was hard, and I didn't do great, but it was certainly doable using 3 unit methods.

Don't do 4 unit so I wouldn't know.

I'd say it was a hard 3 unit paper :)

I think that was easier than the 2006 paper. I finished the first 4.5 questions in 55 minutes, and had 35 minutes to do question 7. Granted I did skip bits of question 3, 4 and 5 on a whim, which cost me time on the last 2 parts of Q7 -__- but in all, a pretty decent test

nope it wasnt too hard, i just hadnt studied enough and didnt know enough. But the question 1 was alot different to normal ext papers, ie no inequalities with the unknown in the demoinator, and external/internal division etc

yeah that was definitely not as hard as this years 4 unit. i thought the test was pretty tricky but it was doable. I thought it was strange that the was no division of an interval and inequality in the 1st question

well i got around 100/120 in 4u and 72/84 in 3u. this was the hardest 3u paper i average 80+ in 3u past papers and got 76/84 in 2006.

I studied those expecting them to be there, was disappointed.

are you kidding?? have u SEEN a four unit paper in your life?!?
this was like a year 9 maths topic test compared to the 08 ext 2 paper lol so NO, we did not get slipped a 4U paper..and btw, doing four unit didnt help us because the only thing it couldve helped us with is that trig integration question in question 1! haha

i dont think so. it was pretty straight forward. its quite obvious the derivative of sin is cos
