TIPS FOR STUDYING FOR PHY111 FINAL EXAM Your best study materials are this year's tests. Kannan has given me your graded Test 4; on MON I will be in from 9:40-10:30 and again from 12:00-2:00. Start by studying the MC questions. Cramming in solutions to individual problems won't help. What you want to discover are things that you didn't understand the first time around. When you discover that there is something you don't understand, go back to the notes or the textbook and try once more to get the idea. Talking the issue out in your study groups is the usually the best way to proceed. The second-best materials are the MC questions from the Old Tests from Spring 2004. The conceptual questions are the most important ones. If you have still more time to study, look at the MC and Multiple Select questions from this year's HWs. Finally, you can look back over the free response questions on this year's tests. Concentrate on the strategy and why that strategy should work; there is not time on the final exam for complicated, many-step calculations. You can determine your standing going into the final by looking at over Overall grades page, and then by looking at the current histogram. If you need to raise your standing, then what you will need is a final exam score higher than your test average. For example, if your test average is 60 and you score 75 on the final exam, then your overall average will increase by 3.0 points. Good Luck. GBA
