All percentages must add up to either 100% or 0%. In the latter case, the user is saying that they have no preference in question type. If the user does choose to specify percentages, the sum of all fields must be 100%. If the user enters values that do not add to 100% the error shown in figure 9 is displayed at the bottom of the page.

Since the user had previously specified that only questions with a difficulty level between 2 and 4 may be used, the fields for 1 and 5 are disabled because questions with that difficulty level cannot be used to generate the test.

2.2.3.3 Keyword Breakdown

When the user clicks on the Question Breakdown tab, the form shown in figure 12 is displayed.
