Re: Moose: What did everyone think of the MCT2 test?
Posted by familiar with framework on 5/25/07

    I'm confused by what you are saying. If you look at the item
    specifications and the framework itself then it seems to be very
    specific. Now, I do agree that with the inference you are going to
    have to dig deeper but as for a lot of it, the kids are going to
    have to know specifics.
    What do you plan to read to help you?
