"In 2023, 28% of adults scored at or below Level 1...Adults scoring below Level 1 can comprehend simple sentences and short paragraphs with minimal structure but will struggle with multi-step instructions or complex sentences, while those at Level 1 can locate explicitly cued information in short texts, lists, or simple digital pages with minimal distractions but will struggle with multi-page texts and complex prose...of the adults with low English literacy skills, 66% were born in the U.S."

Yeah if it was stressed about going by the book or carefully reading and doing what the instructions then I think its fair. If it was do this task and some instructions were present but the task was again paltry or obvious then its a bit unfair.

    It was stressed and you needed to read the instructions to know what goes where. He took a real board we used and a selection of components. There could be 50 resistors on the real board but you are only given 5 as this is only a test. Does this resistor go on r13, r23, r33, r41 or r07? If you can figure that out with instructions you are being wasted in this position...
