Please note:
- This practice midterm is designed to be more difficult than the actual exam.
- The types of questions seen in this midterm (some multiple choice, some short answers, some full questions) are indicative of the format of the actual exam.
- Some questions may venture a bit further than information you can find verbatim in your notes or reference materials. Some of the questions might require some extra thought, and intuition. Again, this is intentional in making this practice exam a bit more challenging than the exam itself. The questions in the actual exam will lean more towards concepts that directly follow from your readings and lectures.
- This practice test is not exhaustively vetted and pre-tested. Please understand that some questions might occasionally include slightly ambiguous wording.
- Although we tried to cover most topics that will be included in your exam, this practice test should not be construed as a reading list. Questions of the actual exam may, or may not be exactly on the same topics as the questions sampled for this practice test.
UPDATE: Sample solutions [PDF]. Please note that several of the questions may admit answers that are still correct and acceptable for full credit (except for the multiple-choice problems), albeit different than the answers given here.
