MLC Students – Good Luck Tomorrow!

May 14th, 2009

Good luck tomorrow! Two last bits of advice.

1. Stay calm during the exam. There is going to be a couple of problems that trip you up. Don’t let them get you down or ruin your confidence.

2. Relax tonight. The worst thing you can do is stay up all night cramming. Get a good night rest. If you don’t know it by now, then you are unlikely to know it well enough to get a question right.

3L students – Good Luck Tomorrow!

May 7th, 2009

I always like to rest the day before the exam. I might flip through the summary sheets a couple of times, but nothing more. I definitely recommend going to bed early. It is likely to take you longer than usual to go to sleep so it helps to get into bed 30 minutes to an hour early. IMO, the worst thing you can do is stay up all night studying. You will likely be tired so the studying won’t be too effective and it could cause you to be tired on exam day too.

On exam day there will be a handful of people with their notes cramming right before the exam. I always thought this was silly. If you don’t know it by the morning of the exam, then you are not going to know it. Plus there is always a chance that you will confuse yourself of something that you do know. I strongly recommend against cramming the morning of the exam.

During the exam try to relax and stay positive. If you have studied hard enough, then it is very likely that you know how to work enough problems to pass. The key is finding those problems you know how to work and getting them right.

B.8 video solutions

May 5th, 2009

I’ve added video solutions for B.8 #3 and #7. I worked B.8 #3 in lesson B.8.2, but I did it the hard way and my explanation was horrible. I recommend you watch the new solution and then try B.8 #7 before watching its solution.

Sample Quiz #2 Updates

May 4th, 2009

The answer key was wrong for #5 (both MLC and 3L). The file has been updated. I’ve also added handwritten solutions to the files. I’m producing the video solutions now and they should be up within the next hour or so.

While recording the solutions for Sample Quiz #2 I found this quiz to be much easier than Sample Quiz #1. Did you guys feel the same way? If you have any feedback on these quizzes then post in the comments here or email me or Dave.
