In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The PCAT is usually offered at four different times of year. January, July, and September are the most common months to take the test. However, there are also limited spots available to take the test in October or November, depending on the year. Make sure you sign up for your test well in advance of the test-date. You need to give yourself enough time to prepare. Different people will need different amounts of time to study, but aim to give yourself 4-5 months to prepare. There are four multiple choice sections, covering biological processes, chemical processes, critical reading, and quantitative reasoning. There is also a writing section that asks you to respond to a question about health. The official website of the PCAT and websites by test-prep companies offer detailed outlines of the structure of the test. There are a total of 192 multiple choice questions. Take a practice PCAT test from the official website and grade yourself. If there are areas that you did especially poorly on, you should set up your study plan to emphasize those areas. If you did especially well on other areas, you will not need to devote as much time to them. You should plan out how you intend to study each day. You can even make study plans for weeks or months at a time. Again, make sure your plans are focusing most on the areas that need most improvement. If you need to improve equally in all areas, you can devote equal time to all the different PCAT topics.  If you are giving yourself 4-5 months to study, you can schedule your time so that you’re studying for only an hour or two each day until the last month, when you should devote several hours a day to studying. If you are studying only for 1-2 months, you will probably want to spend at least 3-4 hours studying on most days.
Summary: Sign up for a test. Learn the structure of the test. Assess your readiness by taking a practice test. Develop a study schedule that varies between all the different PCAT topics.

You cannot introduce lovebirds unless you know that both animals are healthy. Take the pair to the vet to make sure that they’re healthy enough to breed.  Let your vet know that you plan to breed the lovebirds. Ask her any questions you might have about the birds, their health, or breeding the pair. If you bring a new lovebird into your flock for mating, consider quarantining the pair for a few days. This can help ensure that both are healthy and that the female doesn’t get territorial or reject the male. If you are breeding lovebirds you already own, you likely don’t need to quarantine the pair When you know that each lovebird is healthy, introduce the pair. Take it slowly, as it could take a few days for the birds to get used to one another.  Place the birds in cages next to one another before putting them in the same cage. Move the birds to the same cage after a couple of days. Put nesting materials in the cage to encourage the couple to start building a nest.  Remove any birds that are exhibiting signs of aggression or rejection of a potential partner. Lovebirds are prolific reproducers and you may notice many signs of mating. Signs of mating can include:  Courtship Aggression Jealousy or being “hormonal”  Carrying material in the feathers Nest-building. Lovebirds that are breeding need dense, nutrition packed foods because of the stress on their bodies. Avoid giving them just seeds, which may not provide enough nutrients for the birds or their babies. Some examples of what you can mix together to feed your lovebirds are:  Cooked elbow macaroni Pearl barley Frozen vegetables Granulated sea kelp Whole grain brown rice Apples Greens Cereal, toast or crackers Cuttlebone. The only way to be certain that your lovebirds have mated is by checking for eggs. In most cases, the female lovebird will lay her first egg ten days after mating and then will brood, or sit on the eggs, after the second is laid.  Look at the nest every morning to see if there are any eggs. The female will generally lay eggs at night. She may produce one egg every other day, up to 5 or 6 eggs.  Be aware that two female lovebirds, if placed together. can lay up to 10 infertile eggs. It takes around 25 days for a female to brood, or sit on, her eggs. Let her brood uninterrupted for at least 10 days. Be aware the female will only leave to excrete waste, drink, and have a bite of food. In most cases, the male will feed the female during brooding. It’s common to have infertile eggs, especially if a pair is too young or old. After allowing the female to brood for 10 days, you can check to see if the eggs are fertile.  Handle the eggs as gently as possible.  Check each egg by holding an egg up to a light source, such as a flashlight and looking for a membrane, which is a sign the egg is fertile.  You can also check by placing the egg in a shallow dish of warm water one week before it hatches. After five seconds, check if you can see a membrane.  Be aware that it is normal for eggs to not be fertile or for a baby to die in the egg. After between 21-26 days of brooding, your eggs may hatch. Be sure to not handle the eggs or the hatchlings for the first 6-8 weeks of life.  The mother bird will feed the babies for 6-8 weeks from the nutritious food you provide.  Remove any unhatched eggs or baby lovebirds that die.

In these cases, at-home tests that you complete yourself will not be sufficient.  Hire a professional that has experience testing air quality in homes, preferably one that is recommended by your realtor, lender, or home inspector. If you don't have a recommendation for a professional, try to do some online research by reading online reviews from actual customers of various professionals in your areas.
