Good to know. I like the idea you stated about electronic exams and typing the responses, at least for non-numerical questions. I am faster at typing than writing, and it would hurt my hands less. Plus the faster grading possibility and lower costs.

Compared to the traditional paper exam method, the CBT can save money and time. I do not know why they don't implement that.

It would be fairly challenging to quickly type up responses with all the symbols and special annotations, not to mention tables.
Perhaps when the prelims are all up and running with CBT, that might free up volunteers from those exams to help out on the FSA's. They have already announced they are doing the FSA exams semi-annually. I would rather have that done anyway than get the responses back sooner.

I am in the worst mood I have been in since April. I hate the last week of waiting.

Should I be concerned at how dead I've felt inside every day up until the exam, during the exam and after the exam until the results release date? Calm would be the wrong word; confident, too. Dead and numb about sums it up: dumb, if you will.
