Week 18: Midterm week: the first half, consolidated

Field Book

1 to 67

Due

MIDTERM

Method

Paper first, every step

No new lessons this week. The board goes quiet and the pencil does the talking: everything from the first seventeen weeks, one exam. The best preparation is not rereading; it is redoing.

What you have to be able to do

Bring every skill from weeks 1 through 17 to paper
Show every step, the way the vouchers demand
Manage the clock: skip, return, finish

The procedures

How to review

Redo one worked example from each week of the Field Book, cold, without looking first.
Run the Org Chart audit again online; it was built as the midseason review.
Drill any lane that wobbles in the Yard: the drills are reps, not grades.

On exam day

Read every problem before solving any.
Show the steps: a right answer with no work does not clear the paper gate.
Check signs last; the minus sign is where cases reopen.
