I did take this. The math goes through algebra. As an engineering major, you shouldn't have any problem with this section. The English is a two part section. The first is the basic grammar, answer base on a given paragraph, multiple choice type of section. The second part is the essay section where you are given two prompts to write on. All they are looking for is a standard five paragraph essay. It was the essay section that I had the most trouble with because I was trained not to write a standard five paragraph essay; and, I was taught to think before ever picking up a pen to write. (That's not a good thing when you only have one hour to write.)
One thing that most teachers in the LA area will do is put the TV on KLCS and watch homework hotline to do their review before taking the test.
I went into the test cold and passed it. (Then again, that's how I treat all standardized tests. I figure I can take them again and study, as required.)
