Past Exam Sales
Club Infinity sells past final exams for most mathematics and stats courses offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. We are your only source for up to date past exams! Have questions? See the FAQs below.
We are located in Ross N537, the Club Lounge.
Past exams are $2 each.
Please bring exact change with you, as we cannot guarantee that we will always have change available! (Scott Library downstairs has change).
Check the master list (excel spreadsheet) of all past exams that Club Infinity has in its archives.
Exams will be sold throughout the year. Feel free to contact us to book an appointment to purchase exams. You may also drop by our club room (N537 Ross) anytime when the room is open, however, we will not guarantee exams will be in stock at anytime unless you book an appointment.
Note: Club Infinity does not have exams for every course! Past exams are given to us on a voluntary basis by kind and generous faculty members!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you charge for exams?
Proceeds go to running Club Infinity events, which are freely open to any York student (in particular, York Math students!). Also, we have to pay for photocopying costs too, and our members literally put hundreds of hours into maintaining our exam library and running the exam sales!
Do you sell solutions for exams?
Generally no. There are courses here and there in which we have been given solutions by the professor. Otherwise, we are not permitted to sell solutions. Check out our tips for using the old exams for some suggestions about how to use the exams without solutions.
Who gave the exam (dated a zillion years ago) that you're selling for my course?
Please check the master list of past exams the Club sells. If we know who gave a certain exam, their names are listed on the master list of past exams. Also, there are many exams of unknown origin (i.e., we don't know which Prof. wrote it).
Will you continue to sell exams after the end of the term (i.e., when formal exams begin)?
Yes, we will continue to sell, however, during the exam period, the Club
Lounge will not be open everyday. You will have to e-mail us at
mathexams.clubinfinity@gmail.com to set up an appointment to purchase your exam. This may take several days. After all, we have exams to study for too! It's best to try to purchase your past exams before the end of the term.
Do you sell class tests or midterms for my course?
We generally only sell final exams, although we have the odd copy of a midterm test for one or two 1000 level course. (It's enough work to collect, photocopy, gather, and sell a few hundred exams -- we just don't have time to sell past tests/midterms too.)
Does Club Infinity have past exams for every math course?
While we do have many past exams from many courses, and from many years ago, we do not have a past final for every math course offered by the Department. Please check the master list for a listing of all past exams we have.
Why are there so few past exams from third and fourth year courses?
Generally we find that, at the third and fourth year level, there is usually only one section. There is usually only one professor who teaches the course for that year, and may not teach it the next year. Indeed, quite frequently, it is a different professor who teaches the same course each year. Different professors will often emphasize slightly different topics from year to year. Therefore past exams from previous years often are not very representative of the topics covered in the current session of the course. If you are interested in past exams for third and fourth year courses, it is highly recommended that you come in and have a look at the past exam to see if it would be helpful in preparing for your exam.
I am taking a math or stats course (ex: ECON 2500, BIOL 2060, ADMS 3330) where the course code is not MATH XYZW, but something listed under ECON, BIOL, PYSC, SOCI.
Do you have past exams for my course?
We only carry past exams which are listed under a MATH XYZW course code.
However, it is often the case that your course may be cross-listed with a math
course. To see if your course is cross-listed as a math course, check out the mathematics undergraduate course calendar.
Do you sell exams for ITEC courses?
No. We do NOT sell ANY exams for ITEC courses (e.g. ITEC1010, etc). In fact, ITEC has moved out of the Math Department altogether, and is now based in Atkinson. We do, however, sell exams for math courses that ITEC students take, like MATH 1190.
How should I use a past exam to best prepare for my exam?
Here's a link to some
tips for using a past exam to
study for your course.
May I buy past exams at other times throughout the year?
Yes. Past exams may be purchased at any time of the year, through special request.
E-mail Danielle at (
mathexams.clubinfinity@yorku.ca), to set up a meeting time. Note that, during the summer months, we are not in the Club Lounge everyday, so it may take several days to get a past exam for you. Also, please bring exact change! ($2 for each past exam).
