Drills for the Final Examination.
(I will be posting drills here for you to use in preparation for the final
examination. You would also benefit from repeating the drills you've
already done!)
These are always good for you to do. You REALLY might try a few of the old ones, especially if your command of forms has slipped a bit recently.
These drills have been designed by our team of experts to help
you to review SPECIFICALLY for this final examination.
