Check out our contest demonstration video to learn how our 2025 contest autopresenter worked for all exams except for Number Sense and SmackDown. We made some improvements to the autopresenter after creating the video to make the format more compact — placing the answer selection boxes immediately to the left of each question — but the overall instructions and process remained the same.
