Exam practice problems


Your best bet is to dig around in the exams from previous incarnations of PH102 - just about all of them have solutions too.


Look at the first exams for any given year, the one from Summer 2010 is probably most relevant. Old HW problems are also good, and almost all have solutions:


The only trick is that HW problems are usually harder than exam problems (at least in the past, when I didn't use online HW).

Are there any problems in our book that we should focus on, or would reviewing old tests, homework, and our homework be sufficient?

I would say focus on the HW and old tests/HW/etc. Your HW problems are book problems anyway ... and you may be rewarded by having looked at old problems.

I should have them in my files. I'll scan them soon and post them in a while. Forgot I hadn't posted them.

Are the quizzes good study material also?

pleclair said...
