What is a Prep Session?
Prep Sessions are intensive workshops that sharpen your problem-solving skills. We know the types of questions that keep showing up on the exams for each course, and we help you to recognize them and to solve them. There's no better way to prepare.

Each student gets a Course Booklet written by your instructor and customized to your exact course that includes:
• key concepts concisely and thoroughly summarized
• many exam-style questions with step-by-step solutions
• breakdown of question types on past exams*
• study list of must-know concepts
• exam-writing strategies

Prep Sessions focus on working through the exam-style questions in the Course Booklet with the instructor as your guide.

The Course Booklet also makes an excellent study guide as it includes many practice questions for you to work on between the Prep Session and the exam. We post the solutions online so you can grade your own answers and chart your progress.

Finally, the instructor will provide an email address to students who wish to email questions later on.

* Only included if past exams available.
