Every wrong answer
has a name.
Strong students often don’t lose points to a rule they don’t know. They lose them to a tempting wrong answer that was built to look right. This is the clinic where we name every one of those traps, draw it, and treat it.
- 87traps, each with a name and a drawing
- 19units where you meet them
- 107trap questions to practise on
Walk-ins welcome. No card needed.
