  1. Is there anyway you can post a file with the answers for people like me who wasnt able to attend the review? I just want to see if I get the right answers

    1. The review was made from Dr. Okazaki's slides. If you haven't looked over them you should and you will find that it is very easy to find all the answers. If there are specific questions you can't find, add a comment and I will be happy to help you get the correct answer.
