Ngl my opinion on it (kinda irrelevant tbh) is that they’re very different style tests.
While I believe last year’s papers was quite evenly spread out with some interesting questions at the end, it feels a lot different to this year’s which seemed to have a lot more abstract, brain heavy questions
but ur doing ur hsc in 2026????? why is this yr 9 so much better than me in every way 😭

Q14 seems time consuming but 14abc i. all seem doable 14cii seems hard to get full marks but definitely easier than the stats question from 2022

lets be honest here 2023 students have biased opinions notice how all the grads have said 2022 was significantly harder the reason for that is because you guys want better scaling so you are being delusional. HEre I am trying to help you out of your delusion but you are resisting. Stop resisting. IT's ok! Getting a band 5 in X1 maths isnt the end of the world
You also have baised opinion wishing to think that your exam was the hardest

imo i think they will align very similar
2022 had some harder questions such as the binomial, but 2023 had more abstract problems.
An example is even looking at a simple question like 11e. In 2022 11e they told you to use the auxiliary angle, though in 2023 11e they left it as an abstract problem where you could use a variety of methods, however you had to think about what to use.

honestly i think it just depended on your strengths
i find it hard to wrap my head around vectors; conversely i find binomial stats relatively simple
so i probably would have done better on 2022
i guess objective difficulty will all come out in the scaling
