EXAM REVIEW Problem Sets. You can start working on the following Problem Set to begin preparation for the June Exam. The Exam will focus on Units 4 (Quadratics), Unit 5 (Polynomial & Rational Functions) and Unit 6 (Trig). Additionally, MAJOR function concepts from SEM 1 will be covered as well (but many of these came up in our Quad Unit). As was the case in SEM 1 Exam, you WILL submit an Exam PREP on the day of the exam
