Have you taken the CET test yet? If not, here is quiz number 8 to help you get ready. It is hoped that solving these quizzes is proving beneficial to you. In any case, they should indicate those areas where some review may be helpful. For the most benefit, don't look at the solution until you have made your best effort.
