So how can a student best prepare for 7.02 / 10.702 exams? First, start early! Review your lecture and recitation notes regularly, and think about how each day's experiments fit into the big picture of the module. As the exam approaches, spend time studying your lecture and recitation notes, laboratory manual, and notebook (especially your interpretations section). Finally, we highly recommend that you make use of the "study questions" posted on the course Web site before each exam. These are actual exam questions from previous semesters, and will give you a chance to practice problem solving before the actual exam period.
