I just finished form #3 and I got a 720 but I cheated ... I went through each section answering every question, but marking the ones I wasn't sure about ... then went back through and googled and flipped through First Aid looking for the answers to my mystery questions. I changed my answers when I found a mistake. Overall, I changed 15 answers out of 200. (I kept track.) Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what my score would have been had I not cheated? (I really regret changing those answers now!) I know no one knows for sure, but if anyone has any insight, I'd be grateful. Thanks!

Well, you raised your cumulative percentage by ~7.5%.. that's a huge jump. Still, it looks like you were probably doing pretty well before the "modifications", I would say that you were at least above average.
Why did you do that??
what a waste.

I dont get it. why didnt you just note the wrong answer, leave the answer as is, and get your true score? I dont see what added benefit changing the answer was since you knew you got it wrong, and you then knew the right answer. 😕 😕
This is been really helpful, guys. Thanks so much.
