Past exam question index
Note
The exam papers and solutions themselves are posted on the Community Canvas — Modules. This page is an index to help you find practice by topic.
Every question part from the 2023–2025 mid-semester and final exams, mapped to the 2026 module structure. Use the boxes under each column heading to filter — for example, type a module code in Module to pull up every past question on that topic, or filter Type to Excel to practise the spreadsheet questions.
Exam — MSE = mid-semester exam, FE = final exam. Type — Manual (written / calculator), Excel (spreadsheet submitted with the paper), MAQ (multiple-answer question on the Canvas quiz). Scope — topics flagged out of scope are no longer examinable under the 2026 notes (see the note below the table).
