What This Document Is
This is a past midterm examination for Math 128, Calculus II, at Washington University in St. Louis, administered in Spring 2009. It’s a comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate a student’s understanding of core calculus concepts covered in the first half of the course. The exam format includes both multiple-choice and hand-graded problems, testing a range of skills from computational proficiency to conceptual understanding.
Why This Document Matters
This resource is invaluable for students currently enrolled in Calculus II, or those preparing to take the course. It provides a realistic glimpse into the types of questions, the level of difficulty, and the overall structure of exams used by the instructor. Utilizing past exams like this one is a highly effective study strategy, allowing you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, practice time management, and become familiar with the exam environment. It’s particularly useful for self-assessment and targeted review of key topics.
Common Limitations or Challenges
While this midterm offers excellent practice, remember that course content and specific exam questions may vary from year to year. This exam reflects the material covered in Spring 2009 and shouldn’t be considered a definitive predictor of all future exam content. It also does not include detailed explanations or solutions to the problems presented – those are available only with full access. This document is designed to *prepare* you, not to *replace* active learning and problem-solving.
