Horrible

The tests are very clearly unrealistic because how hard the tests are even to do. I don’t even have a concussion. I’m falling over left and right I can’t keep myself up. They have you doing the same thing multiple times even though. you’ve already done that thing like three times I don’t think this is the best way to see if you have a concussion
