<p>Soria 222-Z exam 2 Spring 2011: <a href=“https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BM2U2ODVhNDItNmRiZS00M2E2LThiMjAtYTYyZDg5YzlhYWVi&hl=en_US&authkey=CNzwgdAM[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BM2U2ODVhNDItNmRiZS00M2E2LThiMjAtYTYyZDg5YzlhYWVi&hl=en_US&authkey=CNzwgdAM&lt;/a&gt;
The explanations, synthesis, and some of the predict the products are very time consuming (W would only present some of these in the hard section on his exam, but they are considered easy by this point in Soria’s class, so you’re just expected to do an “intramolecular diels-alder” on spot and quickly). This test is another example, where Jose is, unlike Weinschenk, simplistic in format. However, if you attempt the problems, they are actually hard (whether or not they have long introductions or not)</p>

Soria 221-Z exam 2 “easy portion”: <a href=“https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYTE3MDE4ZDAtZWEwMy00YTFjLWJjMjAtNDAzNWIyMzU4OTI4&hl=en”>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYTE3MDE4ZDAtZWEwMy00YTFjLWJjMjAtNDAzNWIyMzU4OTI4&hl=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;US&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Soria exam 2 hard portion: <a href=“https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYjQyMDhmNDItMGMzMi00MTEwLTlhN2YtZmUzNDBlMmU3YjA3&hl=en_US[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYjQyMDhmNDItMGMzMi00MTEwLTlhN2YtZmUzNDBlMmU3YjA3&hl=en_US&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Soria 222-Z exam 3 Spring 2011: Lucky for you folks, it appears the Soria, like W. reuses some questions. Like 3-4 of these were on his exam Spring 2010 also.<br>
<a href=“https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYzVmMGQ4MGUtZWJmMy00Y2JkLTk2NjktOTljZmE3Yjk1ZWNj&hl=en_US[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BYzVmMGQ4MGUtZWJmMy00Y2JkLTk2NjktOTljZmE3Yjk1ZWNj&hl=en_US&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>This test is perhaps more challenging that exam 2. I don’t have a “toolbox” for synthesis though. I just remember trying to help the students w/them and it still being hard despite the toolbox. This test is just ridiculous in my opinion. None of the freebie questions are on it. </p>

<p>221-Z fall 2010 Exam 3: You’ll notice that this one is a tad tougher than the one given in fall 2009: <a href=“https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BY2MwYTA3NzEtZmU4OC00NGFkLTg0NTYtNmQxMTgwZDc1YWVh&hl=en_US&authkey=CMO84ccC[/url]”>https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B456FmeCw42BY2MwYTA3NzEtZmU4OC00NGFkLTg0NTYtNmQxMTgwZDc1YWVh&hl=en_US&authkey=CMO84ccC&lt;/a&gt;
On this exam, things that look hard are not as hard, while some of the simple stuff is actually tougher than it looks and often involves a trick. </p>

<p>I’ve never done this before so I don’t know if the links work. If not, can someone tell me how to make them work.</p>
