Your understanding of these objectives will be tested first at the local competition. Recommended resources for studying can also be found under the Resources and Forms page. We all begin somewhere, so be patient with yourself as you get started!

We are here to help you learn. The schedule of tutoring sessions, which are offered bimonthly during Sunday afternoons, can be found under the resources tab or by clicking the button below.
