<p>Hello,
I would like to have a precise idea of the level at Caltech in say sophomore year: could a Techer send me a sample of an usual Caltech exam or homework ?
Got an offer of admission (transfer, international) but would like to make sure I would follow with not too much difficulties (I hope to enter in 3rd year directly though I'm transfer - it seems that I meet all first 2 year's core curriculum requirements in maths, physics).</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>good idea. I need that too. Bali-bolo, are you from Bali?</p>

<p>Not quite (France).</p>

<p>Go to the Caltech website: caltech.edu Look under academic divisions, and pick a department website. then pick courses. For many if not not most departments you can then find the individual course website and see the homework and maybe see exams(exams I'm not so sure about). For example here's the Math 5 website <a href="http://www.math.caltech.edu/courses/06ma5c.html#hw%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.math.caltech.edu/courses/06ma5c.html#hw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br>
But I trust Caltech's admissions - if they accepted you as a transfer student - you can do the work. But then I'm just a mom of a Caltech student but I'm sure Ben or someone will confirm that the admissions office knows what they're doing.</p>

<p>Ph 12ab:

<a href="http://www.me.caltech.edu/me18/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.me.caltech.edu/me18/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This isn't exactly "usual" though as most people take Ph 2 instead of Ph 12 and ACM 95 is listed as a junior class although many sophomores also take it.</p>
