With 2020 being the first year to assess these courses, what are your thoughts so far?

Right off the bat, we have seen major topic rearrangements (removal of conics, volumes, harder 3U i.e no geometry, polynomials, graphing), (reduction of mechanics i.e no circular motion), (introduction of proof and vectors), (complex numbers & integration more or less the same).

Ranking in difficulty, my experience as of yet has been;

Complex Numbers > Mechanics > Proof > Integration > Vectors

The new proofs topic is actually quite enjoyable. However, vectors is rather lacking in more difficult problems (due to them being rather hard to construct with syllabus content ), which is unfortunate.
