Exclamation Subjunctive...
Hello out there!

I have a problem with using subjunctive!
Is the rule of secuencing the tenses needed when we use subjunctive?

Egx: She looked as if she were Angelina Jolie? or She looked as if she had been Angelina Jolie?

Please help! I will have to pass the exam to go to university!
