Hi Coaches!

I was wondering if your teams have benefitted from buying starter packs?

Thank you!!

Not so much for Brain events, since so much is available outside for information anyway.

Could be useful for build/labs, but your mileage varies based on the events.

Our coaches have found little value in the starter packs, unfortunately. At least not for core knowledge events.

I like to buy the test pack from the previous season…I find that very helpful!

I think if you are really new to SO, they are helpful. I found them helpful when we first started. Maybe start with one and see if you like it?

Starter packs do help if your team is new. We used kuizzo.com for some of the tests and exams for practice.For more real world practice use exams from other invitationals that are publicly available.
