Practice Exams:

These practice tests are intended to give you a general idea of the kinds of questions you may see on the real exam. The real exam will have a similar general style of questions as on the practice tests. However, we do not promise that the real exam will exactly match the practice tests in terms of questions, difficulty level, or exact concepts needed to solve each problem. You are responsible for knowing all class material listed under 'Topics' below.

Practice Exam #1 will be the subject of section on Tuesday, May 30th. If you like, find a 110 minute block over the weekend to try to do Practice Exam #1, and come to section on Tuesday with questions about it.

We will bring a small number of loaner copies of the textbook that you may be able to use during the exam. But there may be a waiting queue to use them, so you may want to have your own copy with you if you believe you will need it.

Reminders:

If you continue to work after time is called, the instructors reserve the right to deduct 10 points from your final score.
