o This guide is a point to which you should return several times—perhaps most importantly as you begin to study (so you have a sense of what to study) and as you think about concluding your studying (to make sure you have covered all topics and as a list from which you can quiz yourself). The guide itself is not meant to be “studied,” nor is it meant to be all-inclusive. Seek help if you need it.
