Of course you don't have to be sorry determine. You've been posting great questions for which we're all thankful. My only intention in asking was to know if such direct step 1 sounding questions are asked in step 2 also, because, I haven't taken 1 yet and I'm quite out of touch with that stuff, which makes this a concern.
Thanks anyway for posting questions. Good luck.
