Try This: Purchase Testing Materials for College Students

Many college professors require that exams be done on particular testing materials the students must purchase themselves. These can include testing booklets, scan-friendly answer sheets and No. 2 pencils. They aren’t expensive, but they are necessary (particularly around midterms and finals)—and they’re readily available at campus bookstores. Purchase them in large numbers at a discount and distribute them with an attached connection card that invites students to your church. Plan now and stock up so you’re ready to help students at test time.
