Road sign indicating sharp curve ahead

Turn and look back on your GCAS strategies

This is a review of the previous lessons. You will practice strategies you can use in Part 2 of the GCAS test. 

Introduction

In the last five lessons, you learned strategies to do well on Part 2 in the GCAS test. This lesson will help you use the strategies.

Review is important. But as adults, we think we can master things quickly. We want to cut to the chase. However, there are things in life that simply take time and practice to master. This is one of them.

It's not enough to understand these strategies. It's not enough to do them when you are focusing on them. You must be able to execute these strategies smoothly, naturally and almost effortlessly.
