About the exam:

• If you still have not read the general information, it is available at http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/sv/oekonomi/ECON4120 .
• Remember that the exam in this course is open book, meaning that you are allowed to bring both your textbooks and any other printed or written material. Calculators are also allowed (but no mobile phones, computers etc.).
• Place: Lesesal E and F, according to /studier/emner/sv/oekonomi/ECON3120/v12/eksamen/ and /studier/emner/sv/oekonomi/ECON4120/v12/eksamen/

A few practical suggestions

• This is three hours of your life where you should probably not try to save paper. It is probably a better suggestion to spend one sheet of paper per (letter-enumerated) problem; this way, if you write something terribly wrong, you can simply tear the sheet.
• That said: the exam committee has seen all sorts of striking out before; if you wrote something wrong, and stroke it out, then it will simply be disregarded. Therefore, you need not spend time re-writing a sheet of paper in order to avoid strikeouts.
• Do write legibly though. The committee will not knock you for a ?z? which looks more like a ?2? if it is clear what you intended to write, but if it is impossible to deciphre your exposition, then it could be treated as blank. (Don't try to fool the committee by writing the weakest part of your paper the ugliest. They have seen that trick before.)

Don't panic. And as mentioned before, I will be available at least parts of tomorrow.
