Here are the steps to submit your FAST scores:

Time yourself on one of the exercises in the ALGEBRA PINBALL table below.
Remember: you MUST be using a PC (not a MAC) with Internet Explorer 6.0 or above.
Also, exercises marked with a ♥ require MathPlayer.
You must do at least 20 problems.
The number correct must be at least 90% of the number attempted. This is to prevent you from just clicking quickly until you get specific problem(s) that you know how to solve.
Print (File–Print) the summary sheet that you get when you press the "End Timing" button.
A sample of this summary sheet is shown on the right.
