    It's my first time taking this kind of test and it's really good to practice how you should react in different scenarios.

    Understanding

    I liked the fact they gave me many options that I can choose from and I dislike the fact that I was given little time.

    Summarize the question when you read

    I felt a lot of pressure as far as time spent on each answer I could do better at summarizing the questions after I read it once.

    Not so bad

    I would say, think about how you would want to be treated or have your family treated when answering these questions.

    Awareness

    The slight differences in the answers made you pay more attention. It made it more challenging. I liked that aspect of it.

    Good test

    This is like the others test I've taken but I like that it is timing me in the test, because when I take the real test, it is timed.
