NOTE: Test details (contents, number of questions, etc.) change from semester to semester. Make sure that you read the exam information for this test in addition to looking at previous exams. In particular: we strongly urge you to take at least a couple of these old exams in an "exam-like" situation (put away notes, solutions, turn off music, kick out roommate, set the timer for 2 hours and go). This will help you determine what you need to work on before the exam.

Here is how I'd think about these sample exams: if you have problems with them see someone immediately -- you will definitely have a problem with the real thing. If you find them straight forward then you aren't guaranteed success (make sure you are comfortable with the PRS & PSet questions too) but you shouldn't do too badly.
