We have ordered the tests for books 2 and 3 but for some reason they are
backordered and we haven't received them yet.  Also, how do you determine
the word count when creating your own test?  We created a test for the
first Harry Potter book and it gave the students 10 points; however when
we received the actual test from Advantaged Learning, the quiz was worth
13 points.  So now we have a possible problem where students might
complain about the discrepency in points.  What would you do if someone
should complain?
