Previous Exams
  • Coordinator's note
    • These exams are provided to aid in your study; they should not be considered practice exams. 
    • A "score" that you assign yourself on a past exam is not a reliable predictor of a score on a future exam. 
    • There should be no expectation that questions on future exams will be similar to those of past exams. 
    • The sections covered on each exam may not be the same from semester to semester
