I'd go for 2 to 3 minutes.... I'm a good test taker and can often guess what
the tester wants to hear.

But it's a dumb question. The difference between right and wrong is not
clear or even important. I've taught some, so I have sympathy for teachers trying
to create tests. And sometimes just the taking of a test can lead to some
education. You know, thinking about the value of a problem, and thinking about
the best way to try to answer it, and thinking about what the person wants to
get for an answer. I hope your friend is not taking this test too seriously.
Same goes for your poor daughter. Reading between the lines, Christy, it
sounds like you question the value or this 'horrendously lengthy test'.
