Saturday Review Schedule--All sessions are scheduled for 9:00 in room 224 (the American Studies Room). Any changes to this plan will be corrected here. Please arrive by 9:00 and meet at the front of the building (just below Mini and Jake--main entrance). Often the doors will be locked so, unless you've made arrangements with a friend to let you in later, you could be left out in the cold scratching the door like a sad puppy.
If you need to leave early, that's fine.
These review sessions are structured to help you clear out the cob webs and familiarize you with the tests themselves. Most people like food so it would be great if you brought something to share with the group (donuts, bagels, fruit, etc, etc etc...).
We will not be wasting time during these sessions so come prepared to focus and bring any questions that you need answered.
Also, keep your eye on this site for study tips.
