 TOMORROW IS THE POST-TEST

Tomorrow you will be taking the post-test along with the rest of the class. The testing site where the post-tests are taken will not be linked till tomorrow so you will not be able to see what the post-test is like till class time tomorrow. However, the post-test is quite similar to the pre-test. The best way for you to prepare for the post-test is to take the pre-test several times before tomorrow.
