Listen to the chapters here.

Study Tip: What is your best strategy for review? There are two ways to approach these weeks: (1) Learn what you missed the first time around, or (2) Cement the stuff you know well by reading it again and quizzing yourself relentlessly. Consider carefully which way is best for you. If you joined late, definitely consider Option 1. It is your chance to catch up to the other quizzers. If you have been here since day 1, strongly consider Option 2. Either way, do your best to be an asset at Districts!

Study Tip: Are you a morning person or a night owl? Do you find yourself happiest and most focused early in the day, in the middle of it, or late at night when everyone else had gone to bed? Pay attention to these patterns in yourself, and try to study accordingly. If you are a morning person, consider getting up a half hour earlier and studying before school. If you are a night owl, you may want to make your studying the last thing you do before bed. Knowing your own rhythms can be of great help when trying to put God's word into your mind.
