That section at the beginning is to get her up to speed with entering numbers. Once she demonstrates some consistent speed, it will move on to the real deal.
After a similarly frustrating experience, I did that part for my daughter. Not sure why it took sooo long for her, but suspect it's because she wasn't real consistent getting the numbers keyed in. Once she was up & running, I was able to tweak the time limit so that she would have a chance to finish her entries.
All is better now, and her keyboarding speed, at least for numbers, has improved considerably. Oh yeah -- and her math facts quizzes have been improving dramatically at school!
