a battery of tests=a bunch of tests?


you can swing that one=you can do that one?

Thanks

[CP]

Yes on both.

A battery of tests is a collection of tests given to someone or a group for a particular purpose -- determining personality, attitudes, aptitudes, or whatever.

To swing something means to be able to do it.

"I'd like to buy a new car this year, but I'm not sure I can swing it."
