Finite Mathematics Exam Review Approximately 5 0% of the questions on Exam will come from Chapters, 4, and 5. The remaining 70 75% will come from Chapter 7. To help you prepare for the first part of the exam, I would suggest you rework Exam. If you have difficulty with a particular problem, work additional problems of that type from the Exam Review and/or the homework assignments. You do not have to complete this review sequentially. Take a sample of problems from different sections and work them like a practice exam. Read and carefully follow all directions. Show all of your work on every problem. Work the problems on blank paper with no resources other than the departmental formula sheet and your calculator. If you have to peek at something (homework, notes, textbook, solutions manual, etc.) to complete a problem, take note of what knowledge you were missing, and work some additional problems of this type..
