The following guidelines will help you be successful when taking this quiz:
Before you take the quiz, make arrangements to use a reliable computer with uninterrupted internet access; if you use a wireless connection to the internet and that connection is interrupted, you may not be able to submit your quiz.
I recommend you take the quiz on a computer. If you use a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, you may have problems submitting your answers.
