PHIL 132- although it's my best subject, I honestly don't think I'll go well in the exam.
I can help with AHST 100, AHST 102, and HIST 112, although the last doesn't have an exam, whoopdidoo.

econ110- make sure you do the essay questions they give you really well. the ones that you do before the exam and one of which is a going to be a compulsory one. if you answer all those questions really well, the other 2 essays you need to do in the exams will be easy.
stat170- do as many past papers as you can. the setting out of the questions is very similar. make sure you know the regression procedure. it is really easy and worth a fair amount of marks.

You cant really study for PSY104.... I'd say concentrate on Darren's stuff because he asks weirdo questions from memory. The rest (esp. the psychpathy lectures with Franklin- I loved those!) are relatively easy, they dont have that much to ask.fornstar said:
But as I said, you cant really study for it imo.
GTG, care to help with law204? I'm so screwed after reading last years exam

comp115- there will be questions on classes. like a major one. try and practice iteration, for/while loops. i remember doing a lot of them in the exam (might have done them wrong perhaps ) but i do remember coming out of the exam very excited and getting a mark below what i expected. just like flyin' once mentioned last yr.
stat171- be prepared for perhaps a regression question. and that stuff is quite systematic. so they should be the able to be worked out. pure probability questions, like the first in class exam and some baby marks at the start with working with z tables, etc. nb: that was my exam. so your might be different.

What did the crab do?
Woah. So many pleas for help. Can only help with two or three...
Mktg101: Read the book, or skim it at least. Be cynical about the subject, but don't let that show through (people don't like you questioning their life's work): overemphasis, exaggeration and hyperbole are your friend. Revise your Business Studies basics: the four P's (product, place, price.... P-something), and use SWOT analysises to structure your essay responses (do they still have essay responses? For the uninitiated, SWOT = Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). If in doubt about multiple choice, go for the one just dripping with BS.
...and if you're not sure about how cynical to be, remember that a product with design faults isn't the fault of the engineers: it's the marketeers' role to turn problems into pluses (ever heard the line "no unnecessary features"?).. or, as the marketeers put it: "add value". Be cynical, don't let it show through, have fun with the exam.
Psy104: Just multiple choice still? Don't know what to say here. From memory, the psych exams weren't too much of a breeze. There were, however, (as normal in multiple choice exams) a lot of questions which help you answer other ones. Also, sometimes in psych things are rather obvious. Think about your personal experiences with the question's subject, and what you'd expect. I remember finding a few times that the answers to questions could be worked out based on principles from other topics within psy104, if that makes sense.
It's difficult to give much advice for multiple choice exams. Take two pencils (pacers/retractable pencils are better, but have a backup pencil.) and a rubber. Don't be an idiot like me and start answering question #1 in the #50 row.
Stat270: As redruM said, do as many past papers as possible... BEST ADVICE I could give you is to get a rough idea of what you should be expecting. If you've no idea, and are lost, don't flounder about wondeing what to do, find what you can do, and do that.

Totally agree with STAT170: I did them constantly before the exam (and I was pushed severely to do it) but it pays off. The only problem is when you've done them so many times and so you're more doing the answers off memory. Remember chi squared because those questions are worth a lot, and its easy (and I think fun) to do. Oh, and learn and remeber how to bullshit the report writing (worth 10ish marks) and the assumptions and conclusions for the hypothetical tests.
