Not only does the green "resume" button save all of your answers, it puts you right back to where you left off.
True or False: If I leave questions unanswered, they will be automatically marked incorrect.

Where are the OTT username and password shown?
The OTT username and password are shown on the Sign In Screen.
Your login information is not case sensitive. What does this mean?
