The Permutation Track
[/expand]
The Testing Rules:
1. Each can be attempted only twice during any testing session.
2. You may administer the test all at once or lesson by lesson as you learn them.
3. You can either choose to test yourself, ask a friend or parent to monitor your test, or upload a video of your test to the Student YouTube Channel. If you do a video, please follow the testing rules. You’re only cheating yourself if you don’t.
