Reena,
Just keep studing that guide it will help you so much. You will
think the real test is easy after those practise ones in that
study guide.
I'm not sure on the essay but this is how I understand it...if you
score great in the other fields you can bomb the essay and still
pass the test.
Don't stress to much over it. Its not that bad and it has been 15
years since I graduated also.
