not hard imo, time may have been a constraint, but generally pretty standard stuff

i thought it was pretty reasonable...
i used 4unit methods for some q's though.
it was a good paper, but different from past papers, much like the 4 unit paper was.

yes.
I hated it.

Also, I didn't prepare nearly enough for 3u, I found myself losing so many easy marks because i didn't study for 3u.

Nope, I found it rather easy...

And I live in regional NSW too... hmm...

*Prays to .. someone.. that I didn't majorly f**k it up*

Then again, i got a lot of the questions out... so.. i dunno, but it didn't feel that hard

I didn't find it too bad -- but that's probably because I'm comparing it to the 4u paper, which was... hard.

haha i trained myself for this - i was doing past papers in an hour so that i knew that i'd have time even if it was taking me longer than expected - i learnt from trials. I finished about 20 minutes early so i had time to go back.
Hopefully this pays off in my marks...
what do people think they got?

I did the integration on q.1 with the sin squared and cos using a substitution, couldn't be stuffed any other way

and i also used a bit of circle geometry in that locus q
i proved it was a cyclic quad and so MK=ML cos they were equal radii
