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 tabulated formulas and computations are very expensive to prepare and publish. For this reason, most students buy used exam tables. The price of a new collection is beyond the reach of most students. The students have to buy used collections which are still relevant to their area of specialization. Most of these books are auctioned in a range of bookshops and other book joints. At these joints, the students can negotiate and pay relatively lower.

Some of the acquisition can also be done over the internet. The internet has expanded the scope of disseminating and access of information. The seller posts the materials they want to sell. The willing buyers then access the various websites with the items on sale. The two parties negotiate on the selling prices. The payments are also made over the internet. The seller then ships the item to the buyer after receiving the payments.

There are a wide collection of tabulation of formulas and formulas that are applicable in the finance, medical, mathematical and the overall scientific field. A lot of research is carried out before the tabulation of the broad formulas. The researchers may patent some of their ideas. During the publishing, additional costs are added as some of the scientific materials have to be put in a friendlier manner for the users. This makes the acquisition of such materials very dear because of all the related costs.

There are also special collections of a wide range of mathematics-based computations. Most of these computations are used for professional examinations. Students specializing in finance and economics need them for the computation of various financial aspects. Some of the tables have mortality and various projections of rates. These are used by those sitting the actuarial professional papers since they are very helpful in analyzing various issues.

Medical students also find some of these tables very useful. They are used in occasions where the derivation of some medical and pharmaceutical computations may be very complex. The collection of the formulas simplifies the calculations and derivations of some basic matters. This is saves time especially when undertaking various tests.

Changes to the available mathematical and financial tabulations may be useful after some time. This happens especially where some changes have been made in the platform and frameworks. For economics and finance tabulations, changes in the taxation framework may affect the general tabulations.

With the current constraints in the financing of studies of students, gaining access to various study materials may be very hard. This is what has pushed the students into coming up with very cunning ways of accessing the materials. Although the sharing of study materials through some special online accounts infringes the rights of ownership, the students are left with no option.
