If you want to help, good for you. .This is not to sound rude in any way- but you more than likely know more than most people who apply there going in- and while I think it is great that you are seeking to learn more, I wouldn't stress tooo much because test or not, when you walk into most pet stores and ask the clerk a question you can tell just how much the store cares about what they know.
