Prelims

For students in the Group in Logic at Berkeley who are studying for Part I of the prelims, I have included links to solutions to past prelim problems (from 2008-2013) that I worked through when studying for this exam. You can find other solutions to previous prelims on Michael Wan’s spreadsheet. Michael Wan also has some reading suggestions in case you’re interested.
If you catch any errors, have solutions to problems I haven’t solved, or have other questions, let me know. Although I haven’t updated the files since August 2013, I will update files if you catch corrections or find places where it could be improved.
