Good luck eng! It's a tough department but you'll pull through. My friends in eng had to take it, they said it was pretty brutal. Oh and don't forget you bring you student id!!! If you don't have it yet, it's okay you can still take it, you'll just have to sign a sheet.
A friend of mine is in second year electrical engineering and he told me that this was a prank to get people to go to the Engineering events. I am also enrolled in Engineering I but I'm not sure if he was telling the truth. I guess we will see who was telling the truth on Tuesday. I still studied quite a bit for it anyway. A little revision doesn't hurt does it? Need to brush up on some integrals and derivatives. Again, I could be completely wrong and this test may be real. Good luck to you all. Seeya on Tuesday!
@Off-topic: Did you guys get your student ID's yet? I'm still waiting to pick mine up.

There is no deal, some people find it hard, some people find it difficult, just as various tasks/things in life.

In the room I was in the supervisor/TA took this girl's cellphone and you heard something break outside like glass. The funniest part for me was this random black guy (no offense/racism intended) comes in shirtless and starts playing the saxophone LOL.

As soon as I saw multivariate calculus on the test, I knew it was a prank. I was tutored by a 2nd year engineering student at McMaster in integral calculus and he didn't even know much about that stuff. We definitely didn't do it in high-school either. It was a good prank though. Go redsuits!

Everyone I had just told me the exam was hard and you really need to study, so if you ask me, no incoming first year students knew about it until some 'events' occurred during the actual testing period.
