I refuse to use test my knowledge utilizing a tool that contains so many spelling errors.

FYI it was typed quickly. It's a harmless test that does not have an exact answer. Majority of the answers can be found in your policies and procedures which varies in every facility. I don't expect you to post your answers on the site but if you have no clue what the answers are then something is wrong.

don't understand why this post has generated so much animosity.it's not like it's mandatory that u take quiz( i know i "misspelled" you)
