I know everything I need to know. The question is how well I'll be able to do it. (I'm not concerned about my son - he'll be fine. The physical capabilities of 12 year olds continues to astound me.) When I went to bed on Thursday after the last prep class, my frame of mind was "why are they going to let me take this test? This can't possibly reflect well on anyone!" But now I just want to go, do the best I can, and survive...


Tang Soo!
