Requirements for exams:
A level,
B level,
examples of theoretical problems:
A level,
B level,
example of an exam test
A and B level: at B level you should expect similar problems to those given as HWs plus some theoretical questions, at A level you should expect more theory and wider range of problems, see requirements above.
