Sections 9 & 14 Study Guides

UPDATE: As of Saturday noon Sunday afternoon the study guide questions still have not all been gathered. It's time for me to finish making the exams. So, sections 9 &14, in addition to those below* your exams may also include questions/topics from the other sections' study guides.

Not scoring when you have an opportunity is called LOB ("left on base"). Those would-be runs can come back to bite you.

==
(Saturday) Take the initiative, someone: copy and paste your section's study guide. I don't need the runs, myself.

Also: scroll down and remind yourself "how to study..." Don't just memorize stuff. Read, think, re-read, reflect, maybe write a few notes (because writing wires the brain's memory circuits), then relax and get some sleep. Sometimes life is a ballgame, sometimes it's an examination, but you're always better at it when rested and ready... (continues)
