Sample Answers:

Two sets of sample answers to selected final exam questions are available. The most recent samples are from the 2002 exams; there are also samples from 1995. Keep in mind that there have obviously been many developments since those answers were written, but these samples still give a good idea how an answer addressed the question and the level of completeness that is considered desirable.
