   The format is multiple choice.  To take either of the tests, simply go
   to www.123apply.com and select the link,  "Take a beta test".  The rest
   should be self-explanatory.  Before taking the test, check out the 'top
   ten' list to see the best scores to date!

Your testing interface royally sucks.  I tried to take the test, and
started it.  Upon starting it, my Netscape window resized itself to
fill the whole screen.  This is extremely antisocial behavior (I use
1600x1200 mode, why should I need the whole screen for Netscape), but
I could live with it I suppose.  But the big problem is that when I
resized the window (so that I could take notes on the test in another
window, in order to post comments) Netscape tried to reload the page.
That caused an error to come from your server accusing me of trying to
`go back'.  After that neither reloading the page nor the back nor the
forward buttons in my browser did anything useful.

I think you need to seriously unfuck up your testing interface before
you try to do anything serious with the results.
