    Anyone else take the HL WG? How did you find it? 30 minutes was too short imo (and @Jessica Booker do let me know if we are/aren't allowed to discuss tests, not intentionally trying to violate the forum rules 😅)

    Those are good ideas; will have to do some thinking and find a way to apply them. And I hear you; it would be good to find an example where I was able to balance the two. Thank you so much, you've really been helpful :')
