    • Exam 4

      • Exam 4. (12/04/2008: added problems for chapter 33; dropped one for chapter 32.)
      • Exam 4 -- same but an interactive version.

    Note: The questions of the sample exams are similar to the ones that will be on the exams, but that does not mean that the exam questions are simply variations of the ones we have posted here, nor do they define what will be and what will not be on the exams. Stated differently, if you study only the material related to those questions posted here, you are going to be in trouble. If you study all the material and do well on the sample test, you are probably in good shape.
