An Evaluation Of The Used Exam Tables

By Marci Glover


An examination table is a specially prepared mathematical or scientific document which contains basic formulas and computations. The formulas form a way of guiding students sitting for a test. The mathematical and scientific computations vary depending on the course and the field of specialization. Mathematical computations could include interest rates, net present values and a range of mortality tables. These are useful where the students do not have to perform the basic computations. The figures are just read off from the already computed values.

The collection of tabulated formulas may be very expensive to acquire since the research costs, publishing and printing costs are included in the purchasing price. As a result, majority of the students opt to acquire used exam tables. Most of these are sold in a number of bookshops and other book points across the world. The students can acquire used books at a relatively lower cost after a series of negotiation efforts.

The internet has expanded the scope of doing businesses. The access to information has also been boosted by the use of the internet. The face of technology has been facing and this has brought about some very complex changes. The acquisition of the relevant collection of formulas can also be made over the internet. The students have to access the various websites from which they can buy the second-hand books. Payments are made over the internet. The cost of acquiring most of these books over the internet is relatively lower.

A lot of research and very deep research is carried out before the printing of various scientific materials. The researchers also add some patent costs to their materials. The publishers further add the costs attributed to the transformation of materials into something friendly. All these costs are passed over to the students. This is what ends up making the study materials very expensive.

Most of the mathematical computations that are tabulated in special collections come in handy when experts and other students are sitting special professional examinations. Students taking finance and economics-oriented need the tabulations for the calculation of special interest rates and the net present values of projects under consideration. Actuarial students may as well need the tabulations in computing special mortality and projection rates in examinations.

The derivations of some special medical and pharmaceutical computations are very complex. These derivations may differ depending on how the various dosages of drugs and the body respond. The medical tabulations help the students taking the tests to understand the changes depending on the level of input.

Changes to various frameworks are made often. For example, the changes in the taxation rates and regimes affect the various tabulations in the economics and finance tables. These changes in the framework have to be reflected by making the necessary adjustments in the tabulations. In some cases, some formulas may be updated after some additional research.

Students are facing very tough time especially where they have to undertake professional papers. The circumstances have made it tougher since some of the study materials are very expensive to acquire. This has necessitated the use of illegal methods in sharing of the available resources. Most of these students have special online accounts which are used for the sharing of the available study materials.
