TEST PROTEST: You may protest any test question you think is not valid. The protest must be in writing, needs to include the question (not just a reference to the question number, please), an explanation of why you think the question is not a good question (ambiguous, different interpretation, etc.), how you answered it and why, and your suggested change to the question to improve it.
