problem sets
Practice question collections
Problem sets are collections of exercises assigned to students, typically in math, science, or technical courses.
The term implies substantial work requiring application of concepts, not mere memorization: The physics problem set took me six hours.
Common in university settings, especially in STEM fields, where weekly problem sets form the backbone of coursework.
Often shortened to p-sets.
