Only one pre-exam this year: Tuesday 8 Dec 08:00-11:15 am (3 hours + 15 extra minutes).

The pre-exam is not compulsory, though.

Form of examination: Online via Canvas. The exam problems will be released at 8 am sharp in your Canvas account. You write your answers on standard A4 papers or standard KTH exam answer sheets (we will upload standard answer sheet in PDF which you can print in advance if you have access to printers). Write your name, personal number, and page number on each answer sheet. Scan or photograph with your mobile phone of the answer sheets. Cascade them into a single PDF file or ZIP them into a single zip file. Upload the file in Canvas. An extra 15 minutes is given for your file uploading process. A fake exam in Canvas will be held before the pre-exam.

Exam problems: Three questions, each carrying eight points. Topics: Problem 1 on electrostatics; problem 2 on magnetostatics; and problem 3 on electromagnetic wave.

What are allowed:

Textbook/Compendium (can be printed, A4 size);
Calculator;
Formula sheet (given);
A mathematics or physics handbook.
Digital equipment (such as computer or equivalent) can be used for displaying exam problems in PDF format. The same equipment can be used for displaying the English compendium.
Internet access can only be used for downloading exam problems and uploading your solutions.

Note: No heavy writing on all materials (except simple markings and short explanatory texts).

Points awarding scheme:

Your points from the pre-exam can be used to replace points for corresponding final exam problems. For example, if you get full points for question 1 in the pre-exam, you can skip answering question 1 in the final exam. In another scenario, if you get 4 out 8 points for question 1 in pre-exam and you are not satisfied with it, you can choose to work out question 1 in the final exam; your final points for question 1 will be the points from your best attempt from the two.
