Ah, okay.

Only confirmation we really got is its_me with the 18 fail. Looks like PAK was off by at least one. Not sure if those weird answers are correct or not. We'll get more data once we get our scores, because then we can compare out PAK scores with our 0-10 test scores.

I had a 17 initially, then in a couple of hours went to 18.So that one was a wrong PAK. Also, JMo's (?) #11 was NOT a D. If it were, i would have squeaked by. So, #11 was definitely not a D

Aw, I remembered smirking when I figured out 11 I think. I thought it was a trick and I was happy I caught it. Boo, we'll never know.

18 on PAK and then 19 when #11 got changed.

Or #11 was D and one of the other questions you got right on PAK were wrong.
