Tips
- Answers are saved automatically when you leave each field.
- Turn spell-checking on. Your browser probably has it, so you might as well use it.
- Copying/pasting data works best when you are pasting unformatted text. (Bullets and other special characters do not transfer and are usually replaced with question marks.)
- When you paste data into a field, the character count will be inaccurate until you add or delete at least one character.
- Log out and come back at any time to continue your work but be sure to finish and submit before the deadline.
- Submit early, if you can!
