Practice Problems

DSC 10 at UC San Diego

This site contains practice problems taken from old DSC 10 exams. We’ve organized problems in two ways:

1. As discussions. Each discussion page contains problems about a particular topic. Come to in-person discussion sections to work on discussion problems with the help of our course staff.
2. As practice exams. Work through these in the weeks leading up to exams.

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).

Discussions in Spring 2023

Solutions to discussion worksheets will be made available on Wednesday evenings.

Exams

Each exam linked here lists the conditions under which the exam was given, including the allotted amount of time and the resources allowed. For the best preparation, work through all the questions on an exam in order under these same conditions, writing down your answers on paper as you go, then check all your answers at the end.
