One hell of a test

Has anyone ever had a test that they honestly had no idea how well or how poorly they were doing? I am now 7.5 hours into a test that I have 24 hours to complete and turn back in. I'm nearing the end... I should be done by 9-10 hours in, I think, but I have no idea if I'm doing extremely well or even going to pass.

I'm trying to get my certification for teaching English from an online course. I'm a native English speaker, and I've even been teaching English for years, but the way this test is designed, it's extremely difficult to even figure out what they are asking. /sigh

I'm not a fan of cheating, even if I wouldn't get caught. Anyway, I just finished and submitted the test, 10 hours after starting it. :?

TESOL test? I taught English in Taiwan for awhille in 2004. They had tests back then too that were apparently quite easy. I was disqualified from having to take the test as I had a Bachelor of Arts degree. Sometimes the answer is just right there and you don't need to look to hard into it. I'm sure ya did fine.

Is Ten really worried aBout cheating or is the main concern the quality of Wreckers responses if he posted the questions?
