You can't go wrong working extra practice problems--and here are 101 of them. These problems are is essay format and are more complex than what you'll find on the new multiple-choice exam, but they provide good practice all the same. Here's what one of our customers writes:

"Don't let the (multiple-choice) exam format dictate how you prepare. Working longer, more detailed problems is always good, because this allows for more thorough comprehension. Then, when you get a less complex problem on the exam, with some process-simplifying 'givens,' you'll know exactly where they fit into the overall problem."
The problems are grouped by general topic, so you can review the specific areas you plan to tackle on the exam. Complete solutions are provided.
