I took it on paper so I was free to go back and forth as long as I stayed within the section that was being timed. Maybe you would do better on paper?!?!

Marksgirl...I agree with pc...I scored a 92...pretty much i just went through and answered the questions i was completely sure on the math, made an educated guess on the confusing ones and if i had time went back and looked at it to see what i could ...
