Each team member (and the coach) will receive a comprehensive study guide with accompanying CD recordings. Students should become familiar with all of the information contained in the study guide and recordings. Team members may choose to become an ‘expert’ on some portion of the material. Teams will often divide the materials into thirds for ‘expert’ study. Coaches and team members may use the materials and other recordings to create practice tests, study sheets and listening tests. Regular consistent study is extremely important; cramming last minute doesn’t work.
