ECON 100B  EXAM HINTS

 

 

 

What will the exams be like?

 

There’s a huge set of actual old exam questions
in the Soft Reserve Package.

 

 

 

What’s the most effective
way to prepare for them?

 

Team up with a classmate or two.  Then practice
explaining the main ideas to each other, and
practice answering the old exam questions for
each other.  That’s the actual skill you’ll be tested
on, so practice it now.

 

 

 

Should I pull an all-nighter
 the night before an exams?

 

Absolutely.  Showing up with a sleepy and dull brain
is definitely the best way to compete against those
who show up with rested and fresh brains.

 

 

 

But what if I need to stay up late
the night before, to finish studying?

 

Pace your studying during the quarter, so this won’t
happen to you.

 

 

 

Can’t I just learn the material from Eric
in a last minute review session?

 

That won’t be enough time to develop the skills
you’ll need to pass the exam.  If you don’t 
believe this, go ahead and try it...
