    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    Yes, definitely have a go at the BoS trials! I would have last year had the syllabus not changed, but I'd encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunity to practice given that the syllabus won't be changing much anytime soon (except perhaps for this year, we'll see what happens)!

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    That's interesting, I'd have imagined that they could just get you to sit the exams even without attending regular classes though, if they offer extension 2? Although in any case that still leaves you with 3 years which is still plenty to gain a great mark!

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    Yeah I fully see some insane geometrical proof vectors coming up, giving that synthetic geometry is out this year! Although probably not matrices or cross product, as that isn't within the syllabus and not really "fair game". I don't see why you can't do these year after year, though DrDusk...

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    Yep, you're right! Hence, why it is only an indication of the difficulty and didn't appear in the test.

    This year! In fact they're still being marked.

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    You are probably right that the constrained time limit probably did have an effect on performance and perception of difficulty. However, I only have done the topics relevant to the new 4U syllabus of the BoS trials (i.e no conics or geo, where insane BoS trial questions tend to come from), hence...

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    We haven't received them back yet! I'm not sure if I'm yet at liberty to reveal exam questions, so I'll err on the side of caution. However, here's a question of comparable difficulty to the moderate to harder (but not hardest) questions of the exam: Suppose a, b, c > 0 and abc=1. Now prove...

    Which trial papers are usually the most difficult?

    Speaking of difficulty of trials, Bored of Studies trials are great, but one of our recent school exams was in fact harder! (I have done BoS trials and papers from all sorts of public and private schools as well as HSC exams, so can accurately compare). It was pretty incredible, and is certainly...
