Unless they changed it, you were suppose to have a choice of taking
the diagrams or  not.  If you chose not to take the diagrams, they
were not suppose to count at all.  If they were going to count them
wrong, you should have taken a shot at them.  What would you have
to loose?  The way it was suppose to be done, is not to count the
diagrams at all.  It should have worked this way:  if there were
125 questions on the test, with the diagrams included, each
question would count for 4 points.  If there were five diagrams on
the test, and you chose to not do the diagrams, there would be 20
questions on the test, and each question would count for 5 points.
After all counting them wrong would do nothing for the
handicapped.

When I took mine way back, I had to take the diagrams, and we had
no choice.  This was no problem for me since I had studied them
anyway.
