How to Use This Answer Key

Use this key to mark a completed attempt rather than checking question by question, since checking mid-test breaks the timing practice that matters most before exam day. Afterward, separate your errors into careless mistakes from rushed reading and genuine gaps from unfamiliar vocabulary or question type, since the fix for each is different.
