Dr. Hughes said that it'll pretty much be a lot like the practice exams that you can find with the practice midterms.

If I remember correctly, 2 hours long, and 30 multiple choice questions. It's cumulative, but I would guess that there is some emphasis on post-midterm stuff.

There is emphasis on post-midterm stuff. Prof. Rheinstadter said that the question distribution is such that in the end, every section gets the same amount of questions (from the midterms and final).

We are to expect an uncertainty question, of course, and since we've covered equations with trig functions, it's likely to (read: is going to) involve sin or cos or whatever.

60% conceptual questions (there are practice questions after every chapter).

Also, Prof. Rheinstadters said that most of the questions on the paper are modelled after those in CAPA. If you can solve CAPA by yourself, you should be good!

Hey, anybody know whether the help centre in the basement of Thode runs for normal hours or not?

[justinsftw]

Probably. I saw that it was open before the Math exam.

I heard it was open till the 22nd, and there's apparently an exam study session then, but I was wondering if hours were the same...I'll probably be swinging round Thode anyhow...
