This site contains practice problems taken from old DSC 10 exams. We’ve organized problems in two ways:
In all cases, you should work on these problems on paper, since your exams will also be on paper. Even though you will see some multiple choice bubbles, you intentionally cannot select them.
Tip: Keep the DSC 10 Reference Sheet open in another tab. You will have access to the Reference Sheet during exams (but no other resources).
Solutions to discussion worksheets will be made available on Wednesday evenings.
