Poll: Difficulty of 2013 vs 2014 paper (1 Viewer)

[Sy123]

Pick whether you found the 2014 paper harder or easier (separated into categories so we can observe bias)

EDIT: Why won't it let me make a poll? I selected the option when making the thread

State ranks 4U, can't make a poll about how easy the 4U exam was.

For some reason in my 3000 posts here I've never made a poll thread

use thread tools

Thanks!

I voted - I did the 2014 exam and found 2014 easier

Just noticed options 5 and 6 are the same on account of a typo

Ah well people know what it means

Also who was the one who was neither 2014/2013 yet thought 2014 was harder? (Carrot?)

you should have made it a public poll

Those three conics questions in a row (the ugly ones) made me want to kill myself. Was it just me or was the algebra among some of the dirtiest there's ever been?

Looking back Q16 wasn't too bad. I was never gonna get that second part of the circle geo but oh well. The mechanics/conical pendulum type question was fairly tricky too. I think last years last q was harder but overall this year was a tougher paper.

The algebra I used for conics was pretty neat, it wasn't too much of a trek as what I anticipated it to be.
IMO Q16 of this year was harder than last years? But maybe its because I cannot do integration inequalities to save my life LOL
And NGL freaked out a bit at Q11 when had to use IBP hahahaha

Yesshh q16 last year was imo a lot easier compared to this year. (and because of that i voted this year as harder). But that might be because I'm weak at inequalities and harder integration whereas I have strength in conics/mechanics. Last year's 16a was not bad too. (I got all of it)

It wasn't too bad I don't think, it's been a lot worse before. The question that rally irked me was the conical pendulum one, I felt that it was just ugly.

I felt that this year was harder, but it could be because I was under a lot of pressure to finish it in time to teach later on.

Looking at this years paper it didn't seem too bad tbh. Seems like 4U Maths is on its way to getting easier and easier each year. (wow)

Overall it was probably more difficult than last years paper but Q16 was a surprise - it was actually quite easy compared with other last questions. This paper did surprise me a bit.
