Practice Test |
Please solve the following questions. This is not a real exam, it will not be graded, and you do not need to submit your solutions to anyone. The questions are simply intended to help you practice for the real exam. These questions will not appear in the exam itself. Students who don't genuinely attempt to solve the questions on their own, and only memorize the solutions, will have a very hard time in the actual exam! This sample exam is online, but the real exam will be given in person, at a time and place indicated on the course website. THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL EXAM! If you need any clarifications for these questions, you can ask for them on the course Teams channel. |
