I don't feel it is necessary for me to make another practice test. At this point you should have realized they're just homework problems in disguise. Now it's time for you to make your own practice test. Below is a rough guideline.
Instructions: Do the following. Exceptions to the rule are anything mentioned by Dr. Brown to focus on or not focus on. Please show your work and explain whenever possible. It's better to say what's on your mind (provided it's correct), because the graders are not mind readers. Please simplify answers when reasonable, such as $\sin{2\pi/3}$ or $\log(1)$.
1) Midterm 1
2) Midterm 2
3) One problem similar to every different type of "easy" homework problem. By "easy" homework problem, I mean the less conceptual and abstract ones. Do odd-numbered problem so you can check your solution with the back of the book. Alternate about every twenty minutes between easier and harder sections (different for every student).
4) My four practice tests
5) Learn to find exams in other locations. Skip problems when they don't apply. Let me get you started: http://www.math.jhu.edu/~wsw/F11/.
Bonus (for students looking for the extra challenge): One problem similar to every different type of "hard" homework problem.
