nutrition go with the "Not too difficult"
questions. They will still be challenging. For

of each, choose "Mixture". There is no guarantee
that there will be an equal number of questions
from each category.

This choice does not affect the weighted score

You have chosen to be timed. Now choose how
many seconds you want to have to answer each
question. Choose between 5 and 75. The faster

score you will receive. The weighted score is
based on the number of questions you answer
correctly and how much time it took you to answer
them.

Weighted score for each question:
