You wanna show off with a batch of not-from-the-box brownies at next week’s Save the Dolphins sweets sale, but baking’s not exactly your specialty. You…

a) Hit up foodnetwork.com and watch a how-to video on double fudge bars.

b) Scour the kitchen for the Betty Crocker cookbook, then read each step aloud before you even crack an egg.

c) Grab Grandma—and her blue-ribbon recipe. She can set out and measure the ingredients while you fish out the 8x8 pan.

d) Throw on an apron and dive right in. So what if the first two batches are a bust? Third time’s a charm, right?

Your fam’s heading to Paris! Besides French class, how do you plan to perfect your language skills in time for the trip?

a) Create an online slide show with pretty pics—and the pronunciations—of popular Parisian sights, like La Tour Eiffel.

b) Download French-language podcasts and listen to ’em before bed.

c) Enlist your BFF as your French buddy. Have her over once a week to practice parlez-ing français.

d) From renting French flicks (no subtitles!) to checking out foreign newspapers and fashion mags at the library, you’ll teach yourself.

Dad’s driving ya to new bud Cassie’s house for a sleepover. How do you direct him there?

a) With landmarks: Go past the shopping center, make a left at the school and then turn at the first street past the post office.

b) Call Cass for instructions, then repeat ’em to Pops.

c) Find her street on a map and navigate with point-to-point directions.

d) Just wing it. You’re pretty sure she lives north of Baker Street, but if you see a sign that says “Welcome to any city but hers,” you’ll know to turn around!

Your class is taking a trip to the aquarium. As soon as the group walks through the doors, you…

a) Hit up the amphibian room and start reading the bulleted facts and stats on each tank.

b) Listen closely as the tour guide talks about the exotic fish.

c) Scope out the hands-on tank. You can’t wait to pet a stingray!

Homecoming is almost here! When it’s time to dance, you will…

a) Watch what everyone else is doing before you join in.

c) Wow everyone with your moves while encouraging your crew to get out there with ya.

d) Like Drive-By Argument sings, “Dance like no one’s watching.”

You’re giving a presentation on the Irish potato famine in history. To prep, you…

c) Do a full dress rehearsal, and ask your parents to be the audience as you walk through every step.

d) Review your notes the night before, then just go for it. If you draw a blank, you’ll ask for audience participation.

You just spotted an old friend whom you haven’t seen in ages. The first thing that jumps to your mind about her is…

a) That cute mini dress she wore to the sixth-grade farewell dance.

b) Her high-pitched voice and contagious laugh.

c) The dance you both choreographed to ’N Sync’s Bye Bye Bye for the first-grade talent show.

d) Um, not much. Her name is Lisa, right? Or Lindsey?
