Note, you won't get a lot of practice with integrals from these problems--there are not many integrals on the finals that we can do with the knowledge from the topics covered in class so far. So I'd recommend practicing some more integrals on your own. Go over the integrals on the quizzes and homework.
Also, note that the next section after the sections covered on the test goes into integrals. In particular, integration by parts. After that, the text moves on to trig integrals.

Final Review
I will perhaps add some specific problems here, but if not, the general advice in this section should help you prepare for the final. Perform these tasks in this order.
Go over ALL the past tests in the class. Try to resolve them in one sitting each, under timed conditions (15 minutes per problem).
Go over the past final exams which your review problems were taken from. Try to complete them in one sitting under timed conditions. You should be able to complete a final exam within 2 hours and 15 minutes. You will have the same time for your final and it will be of similar length to the past finals. Start with the latest finals first. So, for example, do the 2014 finals before attempting the 2013 finals.
If you realize you have trouble with certain problems, consult your notes or homework or my YouTube videos or google to understand the problem. Make sure you understand the general approach to the problem before you start practicing again, so that you don't practice bad habits.
The more practice you can get, the better. Especially if you're in a position that you have to get an A, you will have to get through ALL tests and ALL past finals, and do most or all problems correctly within the allotted time. If you're not able to do this, chances are slim that you will get an A, unless you were an A-student to begin with.
