Preparation for Exam 1

The first exam in 6.033 will be on March 31st, 7:30pm-9:30pm, in either 50-340 (Walker) or 34-101. If your last name starts with letters A-O, go to 50-340; P-Z, go to 34-101. (The desks in 34-101 are close together, but the room will be at about 50% capacity.)

The exam will cover all material from Lecture 1 - Recitation 13.

The exam will be "open book", which means you can use any printed or written materials that you think might be useful, or a laptop or tablet to view, e.g., PDF versions of the papers and notes. Calculators are allowed, though typically not necessary. However:

Practice Exams

Exam 1 will cover all of the material up to and including Recitation 13; this includes lectures, recitations, and hands-ons. We've included three previous exams below to help you study. These exams are meant to give you a sense of the length and scope of the exam; note that there is some content on these exams that we did not cover this semester.

We strongly suggest working through them in an environment that is authentic as possible (i.e., with a 2-hour time limit, in a quiet space). Just reading the exams and their solutions isn't usually as helpful.
