+Tests can be run several ways:

+1. Interactively and individually, with `M-x ert RET test-name RET`
+2. Interactively and all at once, with `M-x ert RET t RET`
+3. From the terminal, in batch mode, with `emacs -batch -l ert -l my-test.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit`
+4. Other options can be found in the docs, `C-h i m ert RET`
+
+## Submitting your solution

+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [Emacs Lisp track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/emacs-lisp)
+- [Exercism's support channel on gitter](https://gitter.im/exercism/support)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)

+
+To get help if you're having trouble, you can use one of the following resources:
+
+- [The Emacs Wiki](http://emacswiki.org/) is invaluable. Spend lots of time here.
+- [The Emacs Editor](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/index.html) is the official manual for GNU Emacs.
+- IRC - there are [freenode](https://freenode.net/) channels for `#emacs`, `#prelude`, and many Emacs
+ packages, and many helpful folks around. And with emacs, IRC is as close as
+ `M-x erc`.
+- [Exercism Support](https://gitter.im/exercism/support) Gitter chat is also a good place to get help from the
+ exercism community.
+- [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/elisp) can be used to search for your problem and see if it has been answered already. You can also ask and answer questions. \ No newline at end of file
