    *****************

    No, but I did sit paralyzed at the screen during the first
    question terrified that clicking "next" would mean I was all
    done with part 1 and that I'd be unable to go back. I can
    easily see spending the entire half hour on the first screen
    without realizing there are more screens for the same part.
    One or two of my assessment questions were even broken down
    into three screens.

    I don't know how successful a complaint will be, as it does
    state all of this before you begin, but in the heat of the
    moment, it's understandable to make this error. I'm trying
    to be vigilant in letting others know, and am so sorry you
    had to go through this.
