study guides
Exam preparation materials
Study guides are materials designed to help students prepare for exams or master course content.
They typically condense and organize key concepts, terms, and questions from a larger body of material.
Study guides may be officially published companions to textbooks, teacher-created review sheets, or student-made summaries: I made a study guide covering all the vocabulary from chapters 5 through 8.
