This textbook is intended to be a guide for all levels of Latin-American examinations. It does not, however, replace the 5 Latin-American official technique books; therefore it is recommended that a thorough study of these be made before attempting to study this manual, which focuses on the 'Description' aspect of all of the figures.

Being able to deliver a good Description is an invaluable tool for the examination candidate, and will help put the final 'polish' to your delivery in the examination room.
