A Deeper Look At 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.

Most of the collection the scientific and mathematical formulas are very expensive for most students. For this reason, some will opt to acquire the used exam tables. The second hand collection can be purchased from some bookshops. There are also special book points from which the students can buy the used collection at a relatively lower price. During the process, they should focus on acquiring relevant collection.

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.

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 finance and economics students need the tabulations of various interest rates in order to work out various problems. This also happens where they have to work out the present values of different projects or the value of shares and equity holdings. Students taking the actuarial professional examinations need the tabulations especially in getting the values of various derivatives, projection of lives and mortality rates in various mathematical problems.

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.

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.
