It's not a grammar test or a reading comprehension test, or even a memorization of acronyms, though learning the terminology and acronyms allows you the talk the talk while you walk the walk.

The multiple choice tests are there just to trip you up.

I learn by practicing, and having anxiety dropping $300 on testing, knowing that i'll have to drop another $300 or so, is not appealing.
