The PCSA has put together a set of practice questions for CAPS 206 and CAPS 301 based on the content from Jan-Feb. While upper-year CAPS students have reviewed the problems for accuracy and quality, they are NOT an official departmental resource and should not serve as your sole source of information. If any details conflict with your instructor’s lectures or your course textbook, we strongly recommend prioritizing those sources.

Please fill out the form in the Linktree and transfer funds to ubc.pcsa@gmail.com

Happy studying! Wishing everyone all the best for the midterm!
