We have intentionally included more material than can be covered in most Student Study
Sessions to account for groups that are able to answer the questions at a faster rate. Use your
own judgment, based on the group of students, to determine the order and selection of questions
to work in the session. Be sure to include a variety of types of questions (multiple choice, free
response, calculator, and non-calculator) in the time allotted.
