	You need to turn on "Accept single-letter answers."

	this^ also a little too easy

	Accept single letter answers, and cut the time down to just one or two minutes. I'm not saying it was a bad quiz; I'm just offering some suggestions to make it a little better.

	Enjoyable quiz, and I graded it thus.

	It's not so easy if it's been 30 years since you took Chemistry, but we do need those single letters accepted! It drove me crazy trying to put them in.

	It's been three years since college chem, and I did this in a minute and a half. Fifteen minutes is way too much, as others have said, but I sympathize with some people who say they need more time than just a minute or two. Maybe compromise to three or four minutes?

	way too much time, and it really should be called "symbols of common elements" seeing as the common refers to the elements not the symbols since each symbol is different.

	Accept single letters. A LOT less time. I did it in less than two min. Three of four should be fine.

	Definitely need single letter answers. Maybe make it a bit harder even though it is "Common Element Symbols".

	you need to accept single character responses. Also, there are millions of quizzes like this.

	accept single characters?

	If you made this a 1 minute quiz, accepted single-letter answers and added 5 - 10 more elements, this quiz would be outstanding! I really enjoyed it

	Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate the feedback. I just want to make clear that this test was created as a study guide for my middle school students. That is the reason for the longer time.

	@Mrniemis...that is outstanding! I would have loved this as an 'assignment' as a middle school kid!

	waaaaay to short a time limit

	Good quiz, but I think you should change the hints so we don't have two of the same answers but reversed. Like, now you have Iodine as well as I as separate hints. Seems a little redundant.

	RJMurphy:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 16:09 GMT		2 points
	Good idea, but a bit too little time, and the problem is you have chosen the same elements to do symbols and names for, so you can almost guess the symbols by the symbols in the columns and vice versa. Would like to see it where there wasn't an overlap. (i.e. all the names you have to type for the symbols don't appear in the hint column)

	I'll play this properly once your put more time on it. Please!!

	hatshepsut:	Jan 8th, 2013 at 01:38 GMT		-1 points
	Ok, don't understand the comments. Accepting single letter responses makes no sense when half the answers would have an initial letter equivalent to the symbol. As for the time element, it's short, but if I could get 36 out of 40 on the first try, it's well within reason for anyone. I've run out of time with far fewer done (percentage wise) on many other quizzes.

	hatshepsut:	Jan 8th, 2013 at 01:39 GMT		0 points
	Yup. 2nd try everything with 10 seconds to spare.
