Diagnostic Test

While taking the test I did not feel extremely confident in my answers and after checking my answers I found that I shouldn't have been.  Even though I didn't do very well I don't feel defeated and I am not scared of taking the real test when the time comes.  I discovered that much of what I need to work on is simply vocabulary such as knowing the difference between exposition and argument writing and finding out what the word "sanguine" means.  Also, I had difficulties decoding certain parts of the writing for their true meaning when it didn't say it out right.  What I am confident in and what surprised me is that I finished with much time to spare.  Unsurprisingly, the test was difficult and asked questions that I was unprepared for but it was a good wake up call for what is in store for this year.
