The test consists of 50 clues and you will have a maximum 15 seconds to respond each clue. The test will take approximately 10 minutes.
You may choose to skip ahead to the next clue at any time. You should be aware that any partial data that you enter into the response field will be captured and submitted "as is" when the time expires for that clue.
Correct spelling definitely helps in the test grading process. We encourage you to review your response as closely as possible and check for any potential spelling errors before submitting.
