I haven't submitted my assignment yet, however I will give my feedback once I do. In the mean time, ONLY use these to CHECK YOUR WORK. The questions and answers are randomized after a period of time, so I would recommend going back and reading the lessons and links to receive all credit on this assignment.
✨Jewel of Time✨
don't use jewel of time he was correct but the answers swapped around jewel of time thx for everything i have not done my test but i see your trying to help.
It looks like we all have the same questions but in different orders so no one has any idea whats happening
if we want to get the right answers we'll have to write out the full question and its full answer
so basically this system only stops us if we're lazy
