Most of the topics in this course include
an interactive testing box. The first question, however, is usually invisible. Simply
click the Restart button on the testing box to see the first question. The problem

The material in this course reflects the minimal
requirements for high school graduates who are planning further education in 2- and 4-year
colleges.
It is a good warm-up program for AP English studies and a
prerequsite for the graduate-level studies at Free-Ed.Net.
