Using Practice Exams

Copies of MATH 160 midterm exams from three previous semesters are available from the Test Files in the CopyCenter in the basement level of LoryStudentCenter.

There are more and less effective ways to use these old exams. Using old exams as a source of practice problems is NOT the best use. Homework assignments and problems suggested in the Study Guide are better sources of Practice Problems. You’ll learn more by takingan old exam from the Test Files as a dress rehearsal for the performance Thursday evening. Or, if you prefer an analogy from athletics, use an old exam as a pre-game scrimmage. Here’s what I suggest.

When you have reviewed thoroughly and feel ready for the exam, collect an old exam from the Test File, a couple of sharp pencils, your calculator, and a timer (perhaps the alarm on your cell phone). Go to a quiet, well lighted place where you can work for about two hours without interruption. Now, do the old exam as if you were taking the actual mid-exam on Thursday evening. Set your timer for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Work for about 45 minutes on Part A with your calculator available. Then put your calculator away and go on to Part B. Even if you aren’t finished, stop when 1 hour and 45 minutes has passed. Then use your homework, Concept Quizzes, class notes, and textbook to grade your own exam. If you can’t decide whether your answers to some questions areadequate or you can’t figure out how to answer them, talk with your instructor. If youaren’t happy with your performance in the rehearsal, study the topics that gave you difficulty, and get another old exam and have another rehearsal!
