? If the scoring bothers you then simply ignore it. It gives a useful idea
? of how you are doing, and whether you are improving or not.

Actually the scoring does not let me know if I am improving as there are time bonuses and then penalties for taking too much time. None of this factors to in to whether I have learned the concept or not.

? We are not quite sure why you would want to try a problem again after you
? had already seen the answer!

Well first of all, I wouldn't attempt the problem immediately after seeing the answer as that would be useless. However, I am fairly certain that repetition is the universally accepted method of improvement in almost every discipline where knowledge must be turned into skill.

As this seems to be going nowhere I will just have to admit that ImproveYourChess.com is not the place for me and leave it at that.

Thank you for your time.
