Math questions have historically comprised ~40% of the points on each exam. While math questions are more time-consuming than notecard questions per point, they comprise far too many overall points to not spend a significant amount of time preparing.

Similar to the lower level exams, at a basic level there are a finite number of computations that are testable from the syllabus. JEP's content database covers all of these several times over, providing you with practice applying the same math concepts in different scenarios, much like a real exam.

To aid with your studying, practice questions are broken down by the following dimensions:

1. Topic - Location within the syllabus. There are three tiers total within the syllabus tree: topic, source, and chapter.
2. User History - Whether the question has been done by the user before, as well as whether the previous attempt was correct or incorrect.
3. Question Type - You can filter exams that came from a previous exam by the specific exam sitting it came from, as well as whether the question has been marked by our course instructors as a "Gold Standard" question (concise, effective demonstration of the math concept being tested). Not mutually exclusive.
4. Math vs. Conceptual - Whether the question is mathematical or conceptual in nature. Not mutually exclusive within multi-part questions.
5. Previous Exam - Whether the question comes from a previous exam or not.
6. Gold Standard - Gold standard questions are generally simpler questions that focus solely on a specific testable math concept. This isolates the complexity of the question into something that can be more easily studied and mastered.
7. Bookmarked vs. Starred - You can both bookmark and star individual questions so that you can more easily come back to them later. What is the difference between the two? Bookmarking allows you to come back to the question DURING the same quiz / exam, whereas starring allows you to come back AFTER the quiz / exam.

• Use the practice questions dashboard to view your progress and determine which questions to focus on next. The "Topic Mastery By Topic" section is a great place to determine which sections you haven't yet mastered.
• If you are just starting out, click the "Build Custom Quiz" button and generate a few randomized practice quizzes of math questions only.
• Want to skip over a question and come back to it later? You can use the "Overview Page" to quickly travel to different questions, automatically marked as complete or incomplete to aid navigation.
• As you complete more quizzes, use the fine level of detail available in the quiz builder tool to focus your efforts on areas where you have not yet performed well.
• If you want to add a specific question to a quiz, click the "Search & Add" button at the bottom. You can use free-text search to find the question based on what you remember of it.
• Use the history tool at the bottom of the dashboard to revisit old question sets, regardless of whether they are still in progress or previously completed. Our system tags question sets to help you tell them apart.
• Having trouble keeping the various formulas straight? Download our formula sheet to specifically target memorizing and understanding formulas, and use at your convenience.
• Have a question about a specific problem? Submit a comment to a problem's dedicated comment thread and get a response from your instructor in less than 24 hours.
