MHF 4U1 - PRACTICE EXAMINATION

This is a practice exam. It does not cover all the material in this course and should not be the
only review that you do in preparation for your final exam. Your exam may contain questions
that do not appear on this practice exam. Ideally, this should be completed after you have
completed the final exam review so that you can get a feel for how long your exam will be.
