<p>I haven't actually done the yet but I was just wondering for people who have - general consensus hard/easy? Is it really true that they don't require studying or would you recommend (if I haven't touched a Math book in about 4 weeks) that I should do a little bit of reviewing? Thanks</p>
<p>The reason you are asked not to do any reviews is that the placement
exam is supposed to test your long term retention of the subjet matter.
Do yourself a favor and do not prepare. Also if the placement exam suggests
a level be open to taking a level <em>BELOW</em> what is suggested.</p>
<p>You will soon learn that the understated manner in which Harvard approaches
'hardness" in a course can wreck your freshman Fall semester expectations
to have a life.</p>
<p>The only exception to the advice suggested above would be for langauge placement
in case you need the grade to place out.</p>
