only got 33 of 40 right. I disagree with the answer of "what does the spinal cord NOT do".

 

missed the ones about "How many parts of speech are in ..." , "how many degrees of comparison for an adjective", "how many properties for a noun", thought that the eire canal terminated in lake eire (connecting it to the hudson), but hey, I've only been to NY State once in my life about 20 years ago.

I was almost at the end when I accidentally clicked the wrong place and lost it all (an excuse that an 8th grader could not have used in 1912).

That happened to me, but I used the back button on my browser (firefox) and it remembered where it was.

 

For everybody else, be warned that the pages load *slowly*, and demand an email address before showing you the answers at the end.

I was also in Firefox and used the back button, but it just took me back to the start of the test again.

The custom here is to "like" a quote to acknowledge it and say thanks. I don't like that you lost your work and that my suggestion would not have helped, but I certainly thank you for clarifying that anybody else should be careful about not clicking away and for the warning.
