(April 30, 2026 @ 6pm ET) Problem Solving - An Expert’s Process for Answering ARE Questions - PT 21 (Case Studies)

This week's Amber Book: 40 Minutes of Competence program is titled, “Problem Solving - An Expert’s Process for Answering ARE Questions - PT 21 (Case Studies)”

This will be a little different from our usual Problem Solving sessions. We'll talk about the recent case study changes and a few of our strategies for tackling case study questions.

These study sessions are free and open to all, not just Amber Book subscribers, so join us this Thursday at 6pm ET: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83922907346
