Old Exams (legal) posted on website of Professors

In summary, professors often post old exams on their websites to give students an idea of what to expect on future exams and to provide them with a study tool. Using old exams as a study tool is not considered cheating, but students should make sure they are using them appropriately. Old exams may not be an exact representation of the current exam, so it is important to also review other materials provided by the professor.

Hey ya'll, could I by chance get sites of Professors websites that post their old exams online?

Courses for Calculus, Organic Chemistry, University Physics!

I love to take the practice quizzes that are available online from the textbook itself, and I really like to feel prepared so taking old exams would be even better.

Thanks!
