NancE has a list of all the qual. exams with the dates and their author, so you can find your profs old exams.

Dr. Bell's website gives a link to Blanco-Silva's 544 problems, or I think they are here: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~bell/MA598R/.

My (Bobby Bridges') problems and practice exams are on this kiwi, go here: MA544 Qual Prep '08_Old Kiwi

Youngyun's advice, which I liked was " you should know before you take the exam whether you will pass or fail".

Teams rarely win games when their goal is not to lose. Same advice here- go into the exam prepared (mathematically and mentally) to set the curve. Then if you make a mistake, you still pass. As opposed to trying not to fail, or just studying enough to pass-then if you make a mistake it... could be curtains.
