Make sure you visit each website at least once over the next 8 days. Much of the test will be multiple choice and 'application'. Make sure you 'know', 'understand', and can 'apply' your grammatical knowledge

Good luck :-)

ALWAYS ask yourselves... Why did we study this topic, and how does it make your writing better?
