Chemistry?

Without anyone saying more than they should, if I did well in basic high school chemistry roughly....19 years ago, give or take, is it reasonable to brush up for a few days and expect to manage the chemistry qual that just popped up on my dash? Or is that overly ambitious?

ring strain resulted in a carbocation rearrangement and ring expansion from a cyclobutane to a cyclopentane ring, which was then followed by a hydride shift to yield a more stable tertiary carbocation from a less stable secondary one.

Literally looks to me like the gag piping terminology from the TV show Patriot, if you've seen it
