What your result shows

Your questions right, our estimate for the full 50 questions, your seconds a question and your accuracy, then the area to work on first with a short lesson. The pace calculator shows how far each pace gets you.

How we read it: on pace means 14.4 seconds or less for each question you answered, the even pace for 50 questions in 12 minutes. Accurate means 80% or more of your answers right. Our projection to 12 minutes assumes your pace and accuracy hold, and the real questions get harder as you go.
