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 also forms a very rich ground of acquiring used tabulation collections. With the changing phases of technology, the dissemination of information has been boosted. If one wishes to sell an item, they just post them online. On the other side, an interested party clicks on the items on sale. They may negotiate with the seller. In the end, the item in question is shipped at a relatively lower cost. The negotiations and payments are organized over the internet.

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.

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 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.

Some students have come up with very interesting ways of sharing the information in the scientific and mathematical collections. Although some of the sharing tricks may be illegal since they infringe on the publishing ad sharing rights, it is worth to note that students have to survive in tough times. Some have special online accounts that are used for sharing the scanned copies. These are then downloaded and printed for use.
