Hi, my name is Tiffany and I'm 18
I need help with my psychology quiz. It's not considered cheating because it's open book but I lost my text book. The quiz consist of fifty multiple choice questions and I'm positive I answered most of them correctly. I just need help with a few. Please help because I'm not that smart and this course is a prerequisite for the RN program that I want to enroll in.
