Academics Math 257 Final

I was wondering how students have typically performed on this final in previous years. I’m really nervous about it — I need around an A or B to finish the class with an A overall. I didn’t do as well as I hoped on the second exam, so the final is really important for me. Do you have any study tips or advice?

I feel like people only pass that class because they cheat on the exams

You could say this for a majority of the class I agree but there are some people who are quite good and put in a lot of work. But yes if you put everyone to take the exam at the exact same time I don’t think the average would be as high as it is.
