Access to Study Code During Final

During the test, you are allowed to look at your own study code that you may have annotated with your own comments and changes. The comments and changes you may have made to the code should be related to the study code ONLY. During the exam, we recommend you download the zip file provided in the questions.

Also, a reminder that you should read the complete final exam instructions on MITx under the Practice Final link. These instructions will be the same as those on the actual final exam.

Please read the practice final exam instructions we have posted on MITx. There are some changes from the quiz.
