There will be no regrades on the Final Exam so please make sure your handwritting is legible, solutions are reasonably simplified and you show your work!

1) Logistics

The final exam for 6.200 will be held on Wednesday morning, May 20th, from 9am until noon (3 hours).
The exam will be held in JNSN-Track unless you have made alternative arrangements with us.
The exam will be given on paper, so please make sure to bring one or more pencils with you.
The exam is closed-book, but you may use one 8.5\times11" sheet of handwritten (not printed) paper (front and back) as a reference during the exam. These notes must be handwritten written directly on the page, not printed from a digital copy.
You may not use electronics of any kind during the exam (including computers, calculators, phones, tablets, music players, etc.).
Proctors will be available to answer administrative questions and clarify specifications of problems, but they should not be relied on for help with solving the problems.

1.1) Accommodations

If you require accommodations for the exam (with a note from DAS), please e-mail 6.200-personal@mit.edu with the subject line "6.200 Final Exam Accommodations."

2) Practice Materials

Practice materials for the exam are now available below. Each packet is intended to be approximately representative of the length and coverage of a regular exam, but note that emphasis and coverage may have changed slightly from semester to semester.

In order to best make use of these practice exams, we strongly suggest working through them in as authentic an environment as possible (i.e., on paper, with a time limit of 3 hours and without access to external resources), and without looking at the solutions.

2.1) Answers to Practice Quizzes

Answers to the practice exams are available, but you are strongly encouraged not to look at them until after you have tried the exams yourself (ideally under normal exam conditions). Note that some of the questions have multiple correct answers and that the answers documents only show one such answer.

Many of the questions only include answers, without detailed explanations, so that you can try to work through the problems again if you arrived at a wrong answer. If you are unsure about why an answer is right (or if you think an answer might be wrong, or if you have an alternative answer that you are unsure of), feel free to ask about it in open lab hours, instructors office hours, or via the e-mail lists!

If you have any questions as you're working through these, please let us know!
