Looking over the final exams, I think everyone has a good chance at doing very well. The 3 open ended problems will be given first, and cover 3 of the four:
Quadratic Regression (from chapter 2)
Logistic Model (like the Flu problem from chapter 3)
Car problem (from chapter 4 section 8 -- you observe a car from two different angles...)
How tall/far is the tree problem (chapter 5, law of sines and cosines)
The multiple choice has 10 no-calculator problems that are mostly trig related. Study sign of the cosine and sine around the unit circle and the values for sine, cosine and tangent for the angles 0,30,45,60,90. Understanding reference angles is a must.
The rest of the multiple choice is very heavy on chapters 3 and 4. The other topics would just be basic properties of functions (domain, range, continuity, boundedness) and factoring.
Tomorrow in class I will have compiled your homework from this week and selected some of the better problems that most model exam questions. I will also have a few practice open ended questions to go over so you are familiar with the format. Be sure to take the time this weekend, as well as next week studying -- it will pay off immensely and you'll have almost 3 months to completely relax and not have to worry about classes!
