NOTE ABOUT THE EXAM 6 SYLLABUS
One of the challenging things about the Exam 6 syllabus is that it changes frequently with new articles added and existing articles being updated or modified. The syllabus will also sometimes label an article as “new”, but it is actually an updated version of an existing article. The updates of existing articles sometimes have significant changes and sometimes not. All this can be confusing … but not for BattleActs users. You don’t need to figure all this out because we have. BattleActs is the only study guide that identifies what is actually a new article, clarifies what is a modified article and highlights significant changes. We also make it clear when we have reviewed an article, so you won’t find yourself studying something, only to realize later that the content has not been updated. Check our table below and you will know exactly where things stand … and keep checking back to see updates.
