Resources:

Testbank archives of past exams Search the testbank for MATH130, leaving Instructor, Year and Term as “Any”. MATH140 and MATH220 will be of some limited usefulness.

All tests are in Acrobat (.pdf) format, and many print well. For ones that don’t, you can choose the “Select Image” tool, highlight each page as a block, copy it, paste it as a picture into a blank word-processing page, and print from there.
