Hi Jenny,

 

Good question.  Here is a very simple answer.  My understanding is that the students must have the preparatory reading in order to be "prepared" to take both the individual and group RAT.  Therefore it is an integral part of the readiness assurance process.

 

I wish you the best with TBL!  You're gonna love it!

Please could you clarify whether the readiness assurance process includes the preparatory reading phase or not.  In some readings it suggests it is, but in others I have read it indicates the readiness assurance process includes the tests, appeals and feedback.  I need to be sure I am describing the process correctly!

 

Best wishes
