No, I don't

After the exam/test, (1)which would a teacher ask?:

-Did/do you find it difficult?

Is it abnormal English to use the present tense?

(2)In reply to such a question, the student wanting to be polite but at the same time being non-committal, what should he say?:

??no, I don't/didn't??
??so so??
??no opinion??

Thank you. OJ.
