The ASEs are very similar to the final for the given class. However, the final tends to have easier and more straightforward problems than the problem sets. I tested out of 18.02 and the ASE was pretty straightforward – the course I took in high school was more than enough preparation. My roommate is taking 18.02 this term and sometimes asks me stuff about the psets, and from that I can tell that the MIT version is considerably more in depth, and that the problem sets are more challenging than what i had in high school (hws were mostly easy textbook problems). but it’s not really worth it to take a class just to learn a few extra things which you’ll probably pick up quite easily if you ever need them.
