Solid content, terrible exam process

I don’t recommend using this platform… I spent about 9 hours learning the material and then went to take the exam…The instructions ask to choose four out of twelve essays to answer but after I wrote my answers, the platform would only accept all twelve answers go a passing grade. So, I spent another two hours answering all twelve. It was extremely frustrating.
