Exams

Final Exam:

Sample Exams:

  • Sample final exams posted here are intended to be very similar to the actual final. The number of problems and type of problems on the actual exam will be much like what is seen on these practice exams. Material from Chapters 1-9 is considered "fair game" for questions on the actual final. (Each exam contains its own answer key at the end.)

Date/Time:

The CSE 142 Final Exam has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 14 at 10:30am (for students who attend the 9:30 lecture) and 12:30pm (for students who attend the 11:30 lecture).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TIMES ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE POSTED UW FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE.

The exam will take place in KANE 130--NOT THE USUAL 142 CLASSROOMS.

Any student with an exam conflict at one of these times may take their exam at the other time.

Example: If you are a student attending the 9:30 lecture but you have another final exam scheduled for 10:30 on Wednesday, March 14, you can take the CSE 142 exam at 12:30.
