   No way! I had no idea that you could scroll over to the upper right corner! Would have been helpful when I was using Kaplan, however, I have returned the program because I failed the first time and I figured the way I studied was the reason for not ...

    Congratulations! Your experience is inspiring to me, being one who failed the test the first time with 263 questions. I will continue to read positive experiences such as yours to keep me motivated towards passing the test the second time around!
