Update: Praxis I Review Session

Here is the information for a review session for Praxis I. Thank you Mary Kathryn!!!
This sounds really good!!!


The meeting is on Thursday, March 27 at 5:30 - 7:00

We will meet in Pressly 200.

Please bring pencil and paper as we will be working problems and taking some notes. Do not bring a calculator as you cannot use one when taking the test. Do not
panic about that fact! The problems are designed so that the calculations are not difficult. We will practice without calculators.

Please come late or leave early if you have a conflict with this time.
Also, please make every effort to be at the review session. This is an
aid that Peace College wants to provide for you at no charge, so take advantage
of it.

We will talk about a time for the second session at this one. If you
cannot come at 5:30 any day, suggest an alternative time outside the
regular class times.
