<p>I didn't see a thread for this so I made one. </p>
<p>I feel like this will make discussing the test easier on Saturday morning ;)</p>
<p>So, how is preparation going? Any others from your school writing it?</p>
<p>Gah, I’m panicky 
</p>
<p>No one from my school’s taking it and that makes me all the more worried! I don’t have any moral support! :P</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I’m sure you will do well!</p>
<p>Yeah, one student took it from my school last month and did pretty well but it’s fairly uncommon. </p>
<p>My goal is to avoid dumb mistakes and to think clearly. Those issues are what bother me the most D:</p>
<p>I knowww! Me as well! I mean, I’m not very good at Math to begin with, and I hope it’s not that hard! :S</p>
<p>I’m extremely panicked. I didn’t even practice much. I’m just being on this website most of my time waiting for anyone (with different timezone) to do some brainstorming and post at least tomorrow’s essay topic lol :’)</p>

<p>@yjh: are those definitely right answers ? Some of your anwers are different from mine ( such as steps. I think it refers to progression.</p>
<p>@yjh i think step=instruction cz i see the following para is describing she has to do… then to do… inserting movement in it would not make sense because movement is more like some physical process.</p>
<p>about that notes on the fridge …i pick that one first, too. but latter on i realized that it was talking about"the cat had run, and I unplugg the clock…" i finally picked"an inventory of irresponsibilities"( although I was not sure)</p>
<p>in that peseant question, i thought I picked other choices …it was a contrast? peseant and Pxxxxxx, like old ways and modern ways? dont quite remember
besides, it was more like"graffiti artists co-opted by artistic establishment"</p>
<p>Yeah i agree with “graffiti artists co-opted by artistic establishment”.</p>
