Hello!:) I don't think I was asked the meaning of the words in Part 12. But I think I know why you are asking, I also thought that the Part 12 words are going to be asked because I saw a video on Youtube, about them being asked about the meaningof those words like, totalitarian, genocide, paramilitary, guerrilla etc. but Like I said, I think I overprepared and I sort of memorized them. hahah :)) but I was not asked at all, as far as I remember. I think for part 12 she only asked me if I ever claimed to be a US citizen, voted in a federal office and do I owe any taxes. But I don't remember being asked about the part 12 words... I don't know with the other VJ members though.
Also, yes there is an ipad where you will do the reading and writing test. They have a pen you can use to write on the ipad there and hand sanitizer. There is also parking near the building, right across the street. We parked on one for $13 for half a day. I think it was on 2nd avenue. My husband used an app called "parkwhiz". When is your interview if you don't mind me asking?
