    Uni living arrangements

    STAT test or whatever its called

    chill.... the STAT itself is not as hard as the practice questions they send you. i did mine last year and got like 50 in the practice questions but got 98.4 in the actual test. are you doing the creative writing one or just the multiple choice?
