Tests

As stated on the syllabus, we have 3 semester exams and a final.  To guide us, we will have:

1. Last semester's exams for practice;
2.  End-of-chapter reviews and exams from our text.
3. Multiple review sessions outside of class.
4. No notes are allowed during the exams.  No technology except a scientific calculator are allowed.

Final   Fall 2012 (answers) and Final Spring 2013 (with answers).   Click here for the Ch 5 Sample Exam from the text (with answers), and below you'll find a partial set of practice problems from the text.

The Final Exam is comprehensive, although Ch 5 questions predominate.  Other questions cover 6 topics:  1) definition of derivative; 2) graphing properties; 3) tangent line tools and concepts; 4) rate of change; 5) limits; 6) differentiation practice.
