We highly recommend that you have your own study plan and resources prepared and only utilize our prep course as a supplement. Because we are volunteers, we do not guarantee a score increase.

Do I have to do the readings before every session?

In short, no. We provide these readings to guide you through our prep course. During the session, we will review the passages and the main takeaways. Instead, we highly recommend that you complete watching the associated pre-recorded content review videos to understand what is being talked about in class and prepare any questions.

Is participation mandatory?

Participation is not mandatory, but we would love it if you volunteered to ask questions! We would love to make the sessions as engaging as possible, but please feel free to sit back and listen in if you prefer. We want to create a judgement-free zone where everyone can make mistakes and learn from them.
