You would be wondering that this test is half CSS. The answer to this confusion that is coming inside your head currently is yes, it could be the half CSS, but let me tell you a secret: CSS is more than this exam. Just kidding. You can take down this test if you prepare yourself hard and manage your time accordingly. Prepare yourself for the exam not hardly but consistently. You may have heard the quote that slow and steady wins the competition and takes the medal no matter if the medal is made of gold or silver, but in this context, it has been changed completely. Now slow and steady is not winning the competition; rather smart and steady is going to take the competition.
