Studying for the Exam

I would say the most important things we have studied are proofs involving sets (which are still a little rough for me) and then just basic proof strategies. I expect that there will be a few proofs, one of each kind that we have studied, and one of them will probably be really hard. I have had lots of fun experiences with the BYU math department and their history of "one hard question" on the exam. I usually am part of the majority who misses that question, but I have a goal to not miss it this time.

Before the exam I just need to focus on chapter 4. Proofs involving sets and proofs involving divisibility of integers have been the hardest for me, so tomorrow morning and then before I take the exam, I plan to do quite a few of those.

The true/false section always seems to stump me because they put questions that your first instinct isn't always right. I think it would be very helpful to me if we had the key to the practice exams. Would that be possible? Hopefully I will do all right on this exam, because I have to take it tomorrow after class. Thanks for all you do, Dr. Jenkins!
