Any trick to those tests?

You know, those little quizzes often found related to a specific shop. I am not an idiot; however it seems I always screw up on the first try. With so few questions I don't know how I could NOT recognize the right answer but it seems I don't.

Any ideas?

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.
If you are referring to the Screener questions with the MFI blue portal, the answers are indeed obvious and the danger is the radio buttons. As you mark the buttons, move your cursor well away from the buttons to make sure that you don't accidentally drag over an unintended answer. A dragged cursor changing your answer is enough to disqualify you for an entire round of shops without recourse.
Nope, it's not the blue portal -- that one won't even let me in! I do get occasional things from the purple.

Anyhoo, Mr Computer's idea is a good one I think I'll try. THX!

There is hope! I actually got locked out once. I must have misread a question or just clicked the wrong button and boom, half the shops were gone. I emailed the help desk and as I remember it maybe 4-5 hours later all the shops were back.
Fascinating. It must have been a recognized system glitch if the shops return. Standardly if you mess up the screener for that 'wave' of shops you are just out until the next wave even if it was a slipped radio button and you have signed up successfully for other shops in the past. You get the canned response from the Help Desk that you will just need to wait for the next wave of shops.
My default search radius has a ton of regional airport shops, of no interest to me. For months I have failed the screening, trying to make them all disappear. Failed miserably. And the next screen tells me I failed, not to contact them for a reversal, and to wait. The shops do not disappear, are still available, and I can actually assign them without passing the screening.
Yes, I too have seen a ton of regional airport shops. Unfortunately they are not anywhere near my 'region'. At pretty darn close to 200 miles away there is no earthly way I would drive there for my maximum 4 shops per day! But there have been wave after wave after wave of them with what appears to be no takers. So in order to clear them off you would need to fail the screener on each wave. (I did that with the tax shops earlier this year and with their insurance shops, but like the airport shops, those waves came fast and furiously.)
I guess I've been lucky. I can hit the Decline option which asks what type of decline you're declaring (usually 4 choices). After I choose one of the four, they disappear.
I'm always a little reluctant to outright 'decline' a shop. I would suspect that declining too many clients would make it look like you weren't a 'team player'. I also am aware of system 'overshoots' in the past where a shopper declined ff and it took him out of ALL restaurant shops. I don't tempt fate that way, I just blow the screener when the density of unwanted shops becomes too great.
Ah ha, I hadn't thought of that possibility, Flash. Thanks again for your ever-so-wise and welcome input.
I know what you are talking about. The very worst is second to none.
The questions are ridiculous and "tricky". You get three tries but since you can not check your answers to see which ones are incorrect, it's possible that you keep making the same mistakes.
Make sure to screenshot your answers before submitting, a little logic helps at the end of two tries to figure out which questions you got wrong and what to concentrate on.
Piece of advise for CoRI tests. They won't let you have the presentation and quiz open in different tabs at the same time. Log in to the system in 2 different browsers (IE and Firefox, etc.). Open the quiz in one and the presentation in another.

Ooh that's a good one, I was just doing copious amounts of screenshots :-)
