How to prepare to TT2 and Final

(1/1)

However I am hesitant to believe I am prepared because I felt the same way before the midterm/TT1 and those were much harder than the ones in the past or the homework.

I disagree that TT1 was harder than it was in the previous years. It had the same level of difficulty. Simply solving at home without time pressure feels easier.

I suggest to look at past tests and finals for Spring classes. They are pretty similar. What I suggest: not just solve; look for solution on the forum, compare with your solution, follow a discussion if there was any. Try computer simulation and compare with what you got, if there are discrepancies try to explain: as in http://forum.math.toronto.edu/index.php?topic=273.0 discrepancy does not necessarily mean that your solution is wrong but understanding why there is a discrepancy is useful.
