Some comments:

1. Nationality (citizenship) and country of residence should be
dropdowns. "Other" can be provided for people who want to enter
countries that aren't listed for whatever reasons (unrecognized etc.).

2. I found at least two Hebrew words which are incorrect in context
and which don't appear at all in the translation on Meta. They
probably come from the LimeSurvey localization.

3. Currency should be a dropdown - not everybody knows their currency code.

4. The "Session has expired" message is very frustrating. It's quite
possible that a user will walk away for a few minutes to get a coffee
and will find out that all his answers were discarded because his
session has expired. Is it possible to disable it or to make it a much
longer?

> We will close the test on April 13, Wednesday at 12.00 PM (PST). Please send
