Today was the first day of class and we have a drug calc test tomorrow. I'm reviewing and know most of them, but there's a few new ones on here that are tripping me up a bit. I've got the answers here, but I want to work through them to make sure I know how to work them out tomorrow. If anyone could please steer me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!
