Farin Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I have some questions, please "Had lessons of any kind before you turned 18" "Had more than two kinds of lessons before you turned 18 " what kind of "lessons" is that refering to? I only know the school lessons, and it should be natural that these were more than 2... then, what is a "SAT/ACT prep course"? and a "mutual fund or IRA"? just want to know if we have any equivalents here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 *I would assume swimming lessons, piano lessons, karate lessons etc. *College prep courses (to pass college entry exams) would be equivalent, I think *retirement fund, or savings fund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
