We worked on the 4th and final practice exam. We have about 15 problems left to complete the exam. The plan is to concentrate on the last two practice exams. These will have have the greatest impact on their test. The plan is to retake exam 3 and 4 in groups of ten problems, review the results, and talk through strategies.
