faking it

Looking at a description of a weekend immersion language course, I found a pointer to a self-test at parlo.com. I took it and was advised to enroll in their "Interactive French 2", with the comment that I had probably taken some French courses before, and was ready to add more advanced structures to my knowledge.

The problem is, I was guessing on some, and extrapolating from similarities of grammatical structure on others. I got the "right" answer, in terms of grammar, when filling in blanks in sentences I didn't understand.
