I'm done. The results are out, pretty good for the Verbal, quite good for the Quant, the same for the Writing. This last part made me a little sad because I was sure that I had written better essays than in December, but no, same score...
Anyway, my scores are sent to the University and let's keep a positive attitude!
If anyone wants useful links for practice tests, more vocabulary etc, you know where to find me: in the comments below!

On the basis of this study, we recomme...

(a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2
a2-b2 = (a+b)(a-b)
(a-b)3 = a3-3a2b+3ab2-b3
if: xa=xb, then: a=b (except if: x=1)
x-a = 1/xa AND 1/x-a
