General Outline That Gets Us Through the IB Exam

This is the plan I have come up with after all the snow days.  You will note that we will be moving very fast!  But hopefully knowing what we are doing will help you plan things out.  If there is interest, we will also likely incorporate some review from last year into FLEX so that we can gradually go over the concepts from last year, instead of cramming it all in at the end.
