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:
