It was not excellent because questions 1 and 8 are deceiving. Both are asking to characterize Types of Usher Syndrome. I studied these questions more than any of the other questions because each had an answer choice (which turned out to be the correct answer) which was close but didn't match up with the definitions in Figure 1 or in the information in the text. Therefore, I chose "None of the above" each time. For example, question 1 states "congenital, profound SNHL...and vision loss beginning at age 10" and the article states severe to profound HL and progressive vision loss beginning in childhood.
