Default Help with salifert alk test plz!!

Ok so I finally bought an alk test kit. But I'm a little confused on how to run the test, I got my 5 ml of sw put it in the test vial, added 4 drops of the solution, filled the 1 ml syringe with regent with the tip on .
I started adding drops and swirling after each drop. Where I'm having the trouble understanding is after so many drops and swirling u could see a pink hue as u swirled the tube but then it went back to blue/green , so I kept adding drops and when the solution turned completely pink it red 9.9 dkh. Am I doin the test right? Do u add regent until the solution completely changes color or only a hint of pink?

Is 9.9 to high?
