Comps 2009 Information:

 

 

2009 Review Sessions: TODO

 

Spreadsheet with email-ids

Study Group Sign-ups (stolen from last year's page):

 

There is now a google spreadsheet to sign up for a study group - ask a first year if you need the invite url. Any time you need to email the study group, get the list again - people can add and delete from the list at any time.

 

Please bold your name below next to the comp if you feel able to help lead a review session on the topic (that is, you're not just rolling the dice on the test ;)) Maybe 2 to 3 group leaders per test?

 

Note:  Many of the subject links below are to the old (2005? 2008?) pages. Please update them and add 2009 on the page so that people know they have been updated.

 

Mathematical and Theoretical Foundations

Computer Systems

 

Artificial Intelligence and Applications

 

 

Yearly Passing Scores

Cutoff score in parentheses (# correct/# possible)

Number of passes and fails are in brackets: [# passes/# fails]

e.g., Algorithms (31/60) [9/19]

31 out of 60 was the cutoff. 9 people passed, 19 failed.

 

(Blanks and question marks indicate unknown total possible score)
