Dr. Knizia's Exam Style

It’s highly recommended you take the TPE as it provides a small boost in your overall grade and gives you immediate feedback on how you would score on the actual exam.
Contact me for regular tutoring ASAP, and I can show you where Dr. Knizia sources his exam questions, what he emphasizes, and what he excludes from your textbook.
Professors frequently create 1-2 hour videos of practice exam solutions. They’re focused on traditional long-form problem solving, and not heavy on tricks, shortcuts, or backdoor methods for getting correct answers fast. Also, students are unable to ask their own questions. Tutor 1-on-1 with me to ask your own questions, and learn tons of shortcuts!
Some students find the grading system tedious due to numerous weekly small assignments. Ignoring them can tank your grade, but finishing them provides a grade boost to make up for low exam scores. They are Pre-Lecture Assignments (6%), Lecture Problems (6%), HW (8%), and Knowledge check quizzes (8%).
