[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 160331, member: 179"] Ah, Lisa...I DO NOT envy you at all right now. I am probably one of the worst test-takers. I won't even tell you my ACT score. I'm glad I lived in a state that was required to accept you to college. ;) I consider myself relativaly smart, but fail all the time on tests. I guess that is why I never made it a bit part of my grading structure as a teacher. I'd rather know what a person can do on a daily basis than on a one hour exam. The other issue is I tend to 'chunk' information. If it is not important to me, I don't waste one brain cell to remember it. I'd never make it on Jeopardy. husband, on the other hand, remembers the most stupid stuff...but never a conversation with me. I HATE it when our friends want to play a trivia game. Hello??? It's called TRIVIA for a reason. Good luck on your exams. I'm sure you'll do quite well. by the way...what year did Eli Whitney invent the cotton gin? That might be on a test.:angry-very: Abbey [/QUOTE]
