Standard Special Paper 1992, Q1

SPECIAL PAPER 1992, Q1.pdf

are these generally considered easier than STEP 1? I just did Q1, I found it a bit too easy to be for STEP 1, but just interesting enough to keep it worthwhile to do. (A STEP 1 question tends to take me ~45 minutes but Q1 on this paper took me about 20-25.)

How long did you actually have to do one of these in the past?

Q2 is substantially more difficult. What an algebraic slog.

Questionable
I'm kind of stupid, but I'm not representative of the best of my age group, so I don't count.

I wish I found this thread sooner. I've been twiddling my thumbs, not having any more STEP prep to do for quite a while now. Now I've got STEP 1 on Monday.
