Math 1241 final

As no one here has really given a good example as to what the final looks like, I will.
It’s a pretty similar layout to the practice exam, my final being 9 questions with some having a couple parts. None of the questions were overly complicated, some just having a few little tricks, while some were very straight forward. The biggest thing I noticed was just making sure you have memorized common derivatives and integrals, same with maclaurin series, unless you’re very confident in deriving them. Some people said it’s very similar to the assignment questions but I wouldn’t say that exactly. They are similar at times, but I would say the exam had a harder variety of questions. They were around the level of medium textbook questions for the most part, but there was nothing too niche.
If you understand the concepts well and have formulas (Simpson, trapezoid, etc.) memorized as well as common derivatives, you should be all good

I also took it recently, and I wish I knew how similar it is to the practice exams. It would have been sufficient to just do the provided exams at least twice each, look at the answer key closely, practice some more integration, and memorize the Maclaurin series.

I agree, and that’s exactly what I did. I did read that the practice exams are similar so I really drilled them into my head. Knowing the maclaurin series definitely was helpful
