SUGGESTIONS FOR PREPARING FOR FINAL EXAM
1.
Prepare your authorized formula sheet. Only
handwritten information is authorized.
For on-campus courses, you may use both sides of the card that is provided you.
For on-line courses, you may use both sides of an 8.5" by 11"
2.
Rewrite solutions to all five hour quizzes.
The most prevalent type problems on the exam have already been asked on
the hour quizzes. We suggest that
you rewrite the solutions because of the heightened concentration
and kinesthetic connection that writing enhances.
3.
Review the solutions to the five problem sets.
Since the hour quizzes do not cover all of the topics for which you were
responsible, the problem sets are your second best preparation.
Time permitting; rewriting is still superior to merely rereading.
4.
Be
sure to get some sleep the night before the exam.
Be sure to eat before taking the exam.
Rested bodies and brains, as well as adequate blood sugar, will improve
your ability to solve problems.
5.
In
the hour prior to taking the exam, study only what you already know so that all
you know is freshly revisited.
