Not having used Mathematica for months, I have forgotten some of the little I knew. 

I have a list of lists like this:

test = {  {{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}}, 
	 {{2, 3},  {3, 5}},
	 {{7,1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
	 {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}};
test // ColumnForm 
              {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}, {6, 2}},
                {{2, 3}, {3, 5}},
                {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}, {2, 8}},
                {{4, 3}, {6, 5}}}
    
What I want to do is just remove the last element in each sublist, with this result:

           {{{4, 5}, {5, 9}},
             {{2, 3}},
             {{7, 1}, {9, 8}, {0, 7}},
             {{4, 3}}}

There must be some simple functional way to do this, but I haven't found it.
I will appreciate any tips. Thank you.
