HKN and TBP have archived more past exams.

1

61C changed from 2 midterms to 1 midterm starting in Spring 2021. The midterm is somewhere in-between the 2-midterm equivalent in terms of scope, but closer to midterm 2.

2

These are extremely rough drafts of rewritten solutions. They definitely contain errors and unfinished sections, but might have some useful parts for studying.

3

Quests are shorter than midterms and held earlier in the semester, before the drop deadline.

4

Before Fall 2017, CS 61C was taught using the MIPS ISA. The assembly and datapath exam problems from this period are less beneficial to review.
