Here is a link to a folder containing two pdfs that are too large for this wiki: One with all UCLA comps (without solutions) and one with all solutions for Fall 2009 until Fall 2014. The folder is visible to anyone at Google Apps for UCLA with the link (click "switch accounts" and then "sign in to another account" with your g.ucla.edu email). If one gets distracted by computers, one could print the more recent half and work with that.

Here are relevant problem catalogues from other universities (Princeton, Chicago, et al.)

Here is some General Advice.

Here is a Formula Sheet for training your mind while on the bus or at the gym.
