Exam Preparation
Below are pdf files from some past hour exams. The answers and video solutions to all of these past hour exams. These same exams are provided in smart.physics and include video solutions.
We recommend that you take the practice exams, as if they were a regular exam (e.g. on your own, using only the formula sheet and calculator), and then study the questions that you got wrong, or were uncertain about. Note that in smart.physics when you submit your answers it provides information about the fraction of students that got that answer correct. Be sure that you are very confident in your ability to answer (and even explain) problems that had class averages above 75%.
