Math 118 Common Final Study Materials 

The Math 118 common final exam is scheduled for Thursday, May 4, 2023, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Calculators will be permitted on the exam, however devices with a CAS (computer algeabra system) will not be permitted during the exam. We provide sample exams and study materials here from previous academic years. We plan for the Spring 2023 final exam to be administered in person on the Loyola campus.   

We provide three pdf files: 

1. MATH 118 Exam questions from Fall 2020
2. MATH 118 Exam questions from Spring 2021
3. MATH 118 Exam questions from Fall 2021
4. MATH 118 Exam answers from Fall 2021
5. MATH 118 Exam questions from Fall 2022
6. MATH 118 Final exam practice problems
