Practice Form 2 , Q. 70.  
I got this wrong, but looks like the cursor was in the right place. Just curious if NCARB allows for borderline hotspot selection and still marks the answer right ?

@kokate Hotspot items on the ARE have an _acceptable scoring area_ and you won’t be required to click on a super precise location. See **[ARE 5.0 Guidelines](https://www.ncarb.org/sites/default/files/ARE-5-Guidelines.pdf)** page 59 for more on this.

An example of an _acceptable scoring area_ would be the green outline you saw in our hotspot item answer explanation. The reason it was scored incorrectly was because it looks like you clicked on the actual border itself, rather than within the boundary of the bulkhead.
