Product Combos


There are two combos: Regular and Pre-Highlighted. The only difference is that the Pre-Highlighted combo comes with books that are already highlighted and tabbed for you. If you get the regular combo, you still get all of the books and tabs, but you will highlight yourself. The course includes highlighting guides for each book.
