I put together a spreadsheet of exam statistics for the Winter 2011 142 class and the Spring 2011 143 class. These exams had almost perfect scores in terms of what I aim for, so they are an excellent indication of the range of questions I go for and the level of difficulty for each. Notice that each exam has a mixture of easier questions, medium questions, and hard questions.
