Yes, the responsorial psalm comes after the first reading ( usually OT on Sundays) and before the second reading. The psalm has a refrain ,so don't forget to ask the people to repeat the refrain or response.

I already passed this test on my own....a loooooooong time ago.
Consult the missal you received at First Communion. It contains the Liturgy of the Mass.

Please don't SAY the Responsorial Psalm, you must PROCLAIM it, and yes, it comes after the First Reading.
Good luck, God bless!!

Not a Catholic any more but I can tell you that you are correct in the order you ask about.

You do not have to go through all this pomp & ceremony to be a christian! That is why Jesus was sent to us! All we have to do is hear,believe,confess & be baptized!
Then after that,if we backslide or fall from grace,we pick ourselves up,admit we were wrong & ask for God;s forgiveness with a true heart,through Jesus Christ,not anyone else alive or dead.
