Math 1700 Distance: Some tips for preparing for your final exam
Published: Wed, 04/10/13
You may want to consider purchasing the book of old midterm and final exams available at the UM Bookstore.
When going through old exams, don't do them open book. Go through both a midterm and final exam from the same term in one sitting. That is 3 hours of exam, but see if you can do it in no more than 2.5 hours. Simulate exam conditions (no music, no phone, no stopping for a break, no stopping to look up an answer). After you complete an exam, then you can mark yourself and correct your mistakes before you move on. I suggest that you redo an exam where many mistakes were made before you go on to another one.
Good luck! Contact me if you have questions.
