 Math 30-1 Practice Exam: Tips for Students

• Every question in the practice exam has already been covered in the Math 30-1 workbook.
It is recommended that students refrain from looking at the practice exam until they have
completed their studies for the unit.

• Do not guess on a practice exam. The practice exam is a self-diagnostic tool that can be
used to identify knowledge gaps. Leave the answer blank and study the solution later.
