I think it did. There were a couple of grammar questions I wasn't sure about, and then my test-taking strategy was probably a bit off, but I think I did well anyway. At least I hope so. :/
You're right, that part is very true. And most of it is. It's just a question of where the line between very true and stating the obvious is. I'm not sure I know, frankly.
Whichever it is, she's also right about the note-taking. Taking notes isn't useful for paper writing in my experience either. Honestly, I don't know why anyone bothers. It's much better to make photocopies or, in the case of published books, take the whole book, and bookmark the relevant passages. That way you can see/quote the original wording and you can look up other things the source you're using might have to offer as you write. I mean, I realize that's not always possible, but it's much better than taking notes.
