I normally do most of it in 2 - 2.5hrs and have a good 30min to check.

Wouldn't get too comfortable.

This year, I didn't finish the 3 unit maths paper. I can seriously say I've 15+ 3 unit past papers/trials and not once did I run out of time.

The new committees are screwing me over.

On the other hand, I frequently ran out of time during practice but I didn't in the HSC lol..

Just different style

No offense, if you're finishing in an hour, I can guarantee that you're not writing enough.

I counted the lines from the success one book? and wrote well beyond it..
and for the option i did 3-4 pages? i think including diagrams

QUESTION for whoever can answer it:
do we ask for more paper if they dont give enough space on the sheet or do we continue down to the blank space under the lines??

Cool, good for you. Nevertheless, I doubt you did it in an hour.

I only made the thread to see whether others finished the exam in a similar time because i found it weird that is all.

You will not finish it that quick.
More pressure will be on you in the exam.
Just take your time with each question, plan your attack before you start writing.
