Review, Spring 2003
You should only work on previous final exams
as the last step in studying.
If your review is based on just one or two sample tests,
it may not give you enough preparation for all of the possible questions.
- First, you should reread the text and class notes.
Be sure that you understand the examples.
- Next, go over your homework assignments and quizzes.
- Here are some suggested review problems:
- Chapter 2
- 2.2.odd#17-27
2.4.#11,13,17,19,30,32
2.5.#23,33,37,55,63,71,78
2.6.#1-4
2.7.#13,19,23,27,77,97
2.8.odd#1-19,47,79,81
- Chapter 3
- 3.2.#7,9,10,11
3.3.odd#3-11,21,27
3.4.#17,19,25,27,62,64
3.5.#13,15,17,19,27,31,33
- Chapter 4
- 4.1.#7,9,17,19,25,29,33,57,61,63,65,67,71
4.2.#46,51,55,57,77,79,81,83,90
4.3.#21,27,29,33
4.4.#17,19,23,25,27
- Chapter 5
- 5.1.odd#1-23
5.2.#15,37,39,41,43,47,49,51
5.3.#21,35
5.4.#1,3,5,7,13,15
5.5.#1,3,5,7,9,17,18,31,35,47,51
- Finally, after you believe you are prepared for the exam,
you can check your level of preparation
by working the problems on a test from a previous semester.
Be sure that you work the test under realistic conditions,
by timing yourself and allowing either 50 minutes for the hour exams
or one hour and 50 minutes for a final exam.
