Previous Year Honors Exams
Some of the honors exams given in previous years are listed here. To view one, click on the link. They are in pdf format.
Note: Prior to 2006 students could mix and match to create a preparation. For instance, different pairs (or sometimes triples) of analysis courses could be used for an analysis preparation. Therefore, there is often more than one honors exam in a subject, to correspond to the different preparations. Starting with 2006, all preparations are completely specified. For instance, all students taking real analysis must prepare with the same two courses.
