I haven't heard of a test bank, but I have heard that libraries keep copies of old exams. Don't know how true that is.

Check the library website. They have online PDFs of some exams/tests if profs put them up.

I thought it depends on the subject. I remember hearing that the bio society keeps a test bank of past exams. however I know for a fact psychology does not keep a test bank, mainly since they reuse multiple choice questions.

It's probably best to inquire with a representative of the faculty whose test you are interested in.

As someone mentioned, check the site. Although for Psych I know they don't have tests because they re-use a lot of questions. Also, the professors changed so it might not actually be all that useful if it's from like 2005 or earlier.

The libraries have quite on few tests that you can check out. I think you put in the course code and the word test or exam in the search engine and it should pop up if they have it.

All the on campus societies (Psych Society, Bio Society, etc) should have test banks of the old tests students were allowed to keep.

I do know some societies (ex. MSS - McMaster Science Society, SOCS, etc) have test banks. They may not have the ones you are looking for, but it's a place to start...

- Go to library.mcmaster.ca
- Click "Course Reserves" on the left
- Under "Please click reserve location", click Mills, Innis or Thode - depending on the course you're looking for (for some reason, it doesn't work with Health Reserves)
- Type "Exam"
- Click "Go"
- Under the "Course" column, click "Exam" (the one with the yellow arrow)
