Our test was super easy. Over earthquakes and I have no doubt me and my partner got a perfect score.
I spent about 30 minutes making the graph. There was a lot of writing down I had to do so it took a while. And I couldn't figure out how to make the second vertical axis, because it was 07 and i havent done that yet on 07. So I did the easiest thing and googled it. I spent about 5 minutes figuring it out and it worked. :p Then I spent the remaining time click links off my website for the questions. So simple!

There was only one thing on the whole test which I had to look up, and there it was in 30 seconds.

Hahaha nice! How many links do you have on your website? Like, not the exact number, but a rough estimate would be nice

fli, I obviously have no life. I just went to the site map, clicked every page into a new tab (39 pages), and found out.
I have 420 links to the usgs.gov domain on my website.

@fli Google Sites (must better than freewebs for this sort of thing). But don't bother trying to look for it for nationals, I now have it password protected.
@robotman I wasnt talking about USGS site map, i was talking about my site map. But if you want the USGS one, there isn't really one. You could type in "[enter section] site map" in their search and it probably would get you one

Umm... that's against the rules. You are supposed to have a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE WEBSITE. It specifically says in the rules that you CANNOT have the site password protected.
