I almost got it wrong too, because my brain kept wanting to click ‘A’ instead of ‘letter A’

    It reminds me of a typing test that the HR test facilitator lined up incorrectly, causing my test to have a 99% error rate, fortunately they were so incompetent that they recorded a 99% success rate.

    I just nodded sagely when they complemented me on my typing skills.

        For a typing test to work, the text (in a paper book) and the computer need to be “on the same page” as it were.

          Oh haha, im old enough that the test involved a covered typewriter (so no backspacing). It’s not like I ever used a typewriter in any other situation, but the test was done on one.

      It’s training that my organization created in-house for Blackboard (learning management system). To be fair, Blackboard works fine; the problem is this company’s half-assed attempt to make their own training modules.

      This was the cognitive screening test for President of the United States before Trump removed the requirement due to it being a Democratic conspiracy to keep him out of office.

    I’m guessing that the computer randomises the answer list, to limit cheating. The rest writer was likely cursing it too.
