<p>What essay prompt did you get?</p>
<p>We aren’t allowed to say explicitly. Mine involved technology. Did yours?</p>

<p>I know there were some idiom questions., but I can’t remember what they were. There was a question where the error was a word like “to, from, on” being used incorrectly.</p>
<p>Do you remember anything from math??</p>
