Exam FAM Bootcamp
FAM-L and FAM-S Bootcamps Included!
Overview: These highly intensive, 3-part live online instructional courses will meet on three Saturdays and three Sundays leading up to the exam with Professor Abe Weishaus, Ph.D and Professor Anas Abdallah, Ph.D. During the live sessions the exam material will be reviewed, with special focus on harder topics, common errors, and exam strategy. The Professors will guide the classes through key examples and answer any particular questions you’d like to discuss. The live bootcamp sessions are recorded and hosted privately for viewing in case you miss a session or want to review a past session. Beyond that, the professors will assign select review exercises to guide your study (through Academic Goal) and be available for Q&A email correspondence.
