Getting 100%

I'm trying to get 100% in A0 and it's incredible hard.
I had 98,50% and have made dozens of tests - each good of them gave me around +0,10%. It wouldn't be a problem, but each test with even only one mistake took around -1% from my score!
So I spent time getting i.e. 99,60% and then boom - couple of mistakes or even typos (cause I'm getting nervous and angry) throw me back to 97% - even lower than I was before.
I start even thinking I don't need this 100% at all...

"les poupées" vs "des poupées"

I guess I fell into the trap of considering "play with dolls" to be a general statement and used "les poupées".

Is this not a general statement? Should "some" be implied here and thus the use of "des poupées"?

I'm having difficulty discerning went use the imparfait vs the passé composé.To me "I felt the nicotine withdrawal" was in the past with a definite end, so I used the passé composé. What reason is used to put it in the imparfait? Then alternately, "Fortunately, my wife never smoked" seemed like a habitual thing, so I used the imparfait. Why is that one in the passé composé?

after "il faut que" subjonctif passé

can't ı say that "Il faut qu’elle soit partie avant midi."= she must have finished your homework...
title of the lesson is "Il faut que is always followed by Le Subjonctif Présent"
I think it must be uncorrect

Pronnciation of "cru que"

I am confused by the pronunciation given here for the sentence "Elle a cru que c'était Valentin, mais c'était quelqu'un d'autre." The recorded voice sounds as if there is an s at the end of the word "cru".
