  they see then we wouldnt have a problem.

Test Overview

• Both sections have T/F questions. They arent
  tricky, just make sure you know information and
  read carefully. Only 1 word may be changed that
  changes the whole meaning of the statement.
• Write in complete sentences as often as you can
  on the short answer. Commas, periods, capital
