Almost each exam is this , judging by the book of practice exams . Textbook questions , mostly assigned homework with the numbers changed . Granted , it looks like some of the harder ones are often selected too . There might be a few newish questions . Then you look at some practice exams for most of those . This is a course that you can get a super high mark in if you do regular homework . It can also destroy you if you refuse to do homework e . g . ' high school was too easy ' disease . Every year , hundreds will neglect to do homework , pay $ 100 dollars to attend a prep 101 session , and have easy questions spoonfed to them , and just pray there are enough prep 101 style easy problems to pull off a 60 %. If anyone just cracked open the book now , and actually starts doing homework , there is still time to salvage a good grade . If you wait until a few days before , sign up for calc 1000 B before all the sections fill up with everyone else still suffering from shitty high school syndrome .
