   As you work through the quizzes you will find that there are some questions that are very similar in content but may vary slightly in the wording. Work through them anyway. These are not randomly generated quizzes. The questions are categorized into their specific subject for targeted study. After two or three times through a quiz you will see your scores rapidly improve. Move on to the next quiz and repeat the process. Check your score history frequently to see where you may need to review.
