What are the exams like?

The exams aren't easy. The exams are challenging. The exams are HARD! They are long, primarily multiple choice, and usually every question is worth one point; only correct answers count in your score. Even very strong students find that they must practice, practice, practice on old exams in addition to learning the academic material in their regular classes. They have to learn to be accurate. They have to learn which problems to answer immediately, which to skip until later (if there is time), and on which ones to guess. A score of 65% correct (higher on Joint Exam FM/2) is highly likely to pass, but it's not easy to get 65% correct. Plan to spend many hours taking complete old exams and sample exams, scoring them, then studying what you missed if you intend to succeed
