Every workbook section that has a matching online tool is flagged in the book. You can complete each worksheet with pencil and paper if you prefer, and the workbook is designed to stand alone. But these tools do the scoring and interpretation automatically, which most readers will find easier and more honest than scoring yourself. We recommend you use them.
