Micro-AP Test

The test itself was in its entirety not what I thought, because I was expecting it to be a multiple choice test. The questions were sort of challenging, but for the most part getting started wasn't too hard, and once I began it wasn't too hard. I learned that I can write essays in 15 minutes, I win at English.
