Resources:

Testbank archives of past exams Search the testbank for MATH140. Some, but not all of the Exams in the testbank are identified by Instructor. You may have to resort to trial and error in finding the Exams I have posted.

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.
