Dr. Stepan's Exam Style

The concepts that appear on her exams are difficult. Early mastery is essential as curveball exam problems tend to combine chapters. Not understanding one topic leads to a chain reaction of lost points.
Dr. Stepan is known for not curving exams - an unforgiving system that punishes students for every little calculation mistake. My 1-on-1 tutoring will train you to spot those slippery slopes and the confidence to recognize a wrong answer before it's too late!
CHEM 112 practice exams provided are the same every semester, and do not show enough of the curveballs that are ACTUALLY tested on your exam. What you need to study are the ACTUAL exams given out in past semesters which I can provide through 1-on-1 tutoring.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Stepan sources her exam questions, what she emphasizes, and what she excludes from your textbook.
