  • NancE has a list of all the qual. exams with the dates and their author, so you can find your profs old exams.
  • Even older qualifying exams are kept in binders on reserve in the math library. You can make copies of these then (please be sure to) return them to the binders.
  • My (Bobby Bridges') problems and practice exams are on this kiwi, go here: MA544 Qual Prep '08
  • Youngyun's advice, which I liked was " you should know before you take the exam whether you will pass or fail".
  • But...you can still pass even though sometimes you may feel like you will never be fully prepared.
  • Teams rarely win games when their goal is not to lose. Same advice here- go into the exam prepared (mathematically and mentally) to set the curve. Then if you make a mistake, you still pass. As opposed to trying not to fail, or just studying enough to pass-then if you make a mistake it... could be curtains.
