The 1 subtopics

One subtopic is one session. Work down the list.

How the guide is worked

Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.

1. Step 1 · Closed book

   Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.

2. Step 2 · Open book

   Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.

3. Step 3 · Closed book again

   Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
