Dr. Stepan's Exam Style

Dr. Stepan's exams are typically harder than canvas quizzes and PLA's for CHEM 112. Past exam questions are used in lecture, but not exceptions, and hard variations are taught before exams.
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!
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.
Dr. Stepan's exams are concept multiple-choice and calculation multiple-choice. The 70% of questions are NOT straightforward.
