Sorry I didn't know where else to post this. But I thought that test was way harder than any of the practice tests I've taken. The free response, at least.

Agreed, after reviewing about 10 years worth of free response there was no situation that i can recall which was similar to the second and third free response. The multiple choice was not that difficult however.

I totally agree. The first one was not so bad, but the second and third FR were insane. I just hope I got as many multiple choice questions right as I felt like I did, otherwise there is no way I got a 3 or better.
