6. How should I study for each section?
A: For Cry, you should review our notes and reread sections you didn't understand or didn't read carefully. For elements, you should review those same notes, focusing on the elements. For punctuation, you should review your punctuation notes and exercises--reread Bedford (see the link down on the right side of the blog you have been using) where your notes are unclear or incomplete.
