An Evaluation Of The Used Exam Tables

By Marci Glover


An examination table is a specially prepared mathematical or scientific document which contains basic formulas and computations. The formulas form a way of guiding students sitting for a test. The mathematical and scientific computations vary depending on the course and the field of specialization. Mathematical computations could include interest rates, net present values and a range of mortality tables. These are useful where the students do not have to perform the basic computations. The figures are just read off from the already computed values.

Most of the collection the scientific and mathematical formulas are very expensive for most students. For this reason, some will opt to acquire the used exam tables. The second hand collection can be purchased from some bookshops. There are also special book points from which the students can buy the used collection at a relatively lower price. During the process, they should focus on acquiring relevant collection.

Some of the acquisition can also be done over the internet. The internet has expanded the scope of disseminating and access of information. The seller posts the materials they want to sell. The willing buyers then access the various websites with the items on sale. The two parties negotiate on the selling prices. The payments are also made over the internet. The seller then ships the item to the buyer after receiving the payments.

Scientific formulas are bundled into one collection and then printed. The patent costs, the publishing rights and the costs of the research are all incorporated into the scientific books. This is what makes them very expensive and most probably out for most college and university students. Most of these formulas are very critical for science-oriented examinations. Students specializing in various engineering course find them handy.

Most of the mathematical computations that are tabulated in special collections come in handy when experts and other students are sitting special professional examinations. Students taking finance and economics-oriented need the tabulations for the calculation of special interest rates and the net present values of projects under consideration. Actuarial students may as well need the tabulations in computing special mortality and projection rates in examinations.

Medical students also need the tabulations of various drug dosage levels and their general effects. This is also very useful for the pharmaceutical uses especially in analyzing how various drugs affect the body functions. Some of the medical tabulations are very hard to tabulate. The use of tables eases the work especially in tests.

The available collections of mathematical, financial and scientific tables are updated regularly. The updates are used for including some calculations or computations that may have not been added in the previous versions. This is also very critical where some computing frameworks have been changed and this has to be reflected in the computation collections.

Some students have come up with very interesting ways of sharing the information in the scientific and mathematical collections. Although some of the sharing tricks may be illegal since they infringe on the publishing ad sharing rights, it is worth to note that students have to survive in tough times. Some have special online accounts that are used for sharing the scanned copies. These are then downloaded and printed for use.
