Academic Decathlon
Reading Schedule
This is the approximate reading schedule (due to change as needed and will be updated throughout the year) for reading the packets. This is essentially a pacing guide. By no means do you have to follow this guide to a T. This guide will be what will be covered at the weekly meetings (Mondays). You may read whichever packets you find most interesting first. This is simply for those that do not know where to start or would like to study along with a group. As long as you end up reading all the packets, this pacing guide is simply a suggestion.
Come Join Us for a Study Session!
Tue/Wed/Fri: 2:45-3:45 - Academic Decathlon Studying
Weekdays: 3:45-whenever - General Study Session!
If you haven't noticed, I stopped doing Pacing Guides because it was not helpful because we are all free and busy on different days, therefore we have to study at different paces.
