![]() If you just want a quick sample of what the test questions will be like this package will let you get that preview. Don’t waste your time studying what you don’t need. It took a couple weeks of work, but I finally got this package together for you.įor just $1 / per question and solution, this download will show you what you will face on the exam. These aren’t just the single-line answers either! Thorough step-by-step solutions are provided, sometimes even more than one methods is demonstrated. This 60 question and solution set contains 30 challenging core mathematics and 30 statistics questions. I worked with three mathematicians to expand upon the types of questions from the exam to give you a wide set of questions to practice with. I’ve worked with some mathematicians to create problems and solutions for you to practice with! BUT ask anyone who has worked with LaTeX (spoiler alert you have to for the 3rd course 620:DTSP) and they will tell you it is incredibly time consuming, so I gave up on this idea. Creating practice quizzes for each section with step-by-step solutions (all from my two weeks of notes and more). Initially, I planned on blogging a very specific study guide, directing you through external resources. Wow I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on this post. The exam I wrote (I assume they draw from a random bank of questions) had one question on differential equations, so the fact that I hadn’t gotten there yet wasn’t too bad.Īlso, half the test is on statistics and probability, so logically you should spend half your study time on those topics if possible. I was truly only able to get through all the Khan Academy material and was in the process of doing mid-terms and going deeper on each of the MIT courses when I wrote the test. I gave myself two full weeks to review these topics and that was barely enough time for me. Probabilistic Systems Analysis and Applied Probability Introduction to Probability and Statistics Then determine which lectures you need to review to get you through the more difficult problems. If you have all the basics covered from Khan Academy you can do the mid-terms and exams from MIT right away. Here the topic list pretty much follows the same outline as that for Khan Academy, but the problem sets are much harder. So at this point I would recommend heading over to MIT’s OpenCourseWare. You’ve covered most of the topics and techniques you will need to know to do okay on the test.īUT the test questions are certainly a level-harder than what I was seeing on Khan Academy. When you pass it you are ready to move on.Īt this point I would say you are mostly ready to go. For me this meant that I could quickly hone in on specific areas I was weak on and cover these topics before getting into more difficult problems.įor each of the subjects linked here you can do the Course Challenge at the bottom. What I like about Khan Academy is that you can work through problems quickly, if you get stuck they have worked solutions, and they offer quizzes to test where you are. Khan Academy seems to offer problems up to a first year of undergraduate university level or so. My next stop was practice problems and I turned to Khan Academy. NO these will not replace doing actual problems. These two series are incredibly well put together, I found them genuinely entertaining, and a great place to start. I wanted to get a high-level overview and inspired so I started by watching and taking notes of the “Essence” series on YouTube by 3Blue1Brown. I figured I would share how I studied and hopefully this will give you a starting point. The Statistics section comprises 20 questions, covering exploratory data analysis, elementary probability, univariate random variables, bi-variate random variables, generating functions, statistical estimation theory, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals, and simple linear regression.” WQU 2019 “The Mathematics section comprises 20 questions, covering differential calculus, integral calculus, matrices and linear algebra, set theory, differential equations, complex numbers, sequences and series, logic and proofs, multivariate calculus, convergence of sequences and functions, and partial differential equations. Second, the topic list is extensive and fails to provide any details on how deep into each subject one should go. First, I graduate almost 6 years ago, and this sort of math is not a part of my everyday work. I found this test extremely hard to study for. ![]() With some of the math heavy courses coming up I have been reflecting on the entrance exam, their Quantitative Proficiency Test.
