Dr. Knizia's Exam Style

The recent online exams via Canvas followed the same question format, type and source as exams before Spring 2020. This means that old exams can be studied for reference in the current semester.

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!

Make time for the TPE’s, because they are of equal difficulty compared to your actual exam, and the practice tests are ~50% easier and less vigorous than your 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.
