Study Recommendations

It is recommended that you work the example problems within the chapters, as well as many of the end-of-chapter problems to ensure you understand the material. Because the exam is time limited, looking information up in the textbook can be time consuming. You should have a firm grasp on where to find specific subjects within the textbooks in order to minimize the time required to find them during the exam.
