I kicked that test's ASS! WOO!

Well, I think I did. Well, I think I passed. Well, I hope I passed. I should have passed. I mean, I passed the practice tests and the actual test really wasn't any harder then those.

I might have gone a bit conspiracy-theorist and thrown in some unnecessary Orwell in the conclusion of my essay, but I just figure that makes it memorable. Or something.

Fractions continue to defeat me. What is 1/3 of 1/4? In fraction form? Because that is the question I spent the most time on.

And, of course, if the question was easy I thought it was a trick and if the question was crazy hard I thought it was a trick and I had to take some 50/50 stabs but I answered everything and my essay was five paragraphs (actually six, but so was the sample essay I read so I figure I'm good) and on the essay I need to get a 5 out of 12 and I need to get 50% on Literature and Reading Comprehension (90 questions) and 30% on math (35 questions) so I think (hope) I'm good.

I'm just so happy it's no longer hanging over my head. Yipee!

Memorable is good, especially in essays, especially considering the graders have hundreds of papers to get through. You write beautifully and you reason well, so i know you rocked the essay.

Multiply the fractions, so 1/3•1/4; multiply top and bottom, so (1•1)/(3•4).

That is so nice of you. I am aware that I am not a total writing moron but I am also aware that I have a tendency to go off the plot quite a lot so I'm pretty sure I could have been about a million times more concise.

But it's done and I am happy it's behind me.

And fractions have defeated me for 25+ years. It's nice to know some things never change. =)

Most people have trouble coming up with more than three coherent sentences during an exam, so you're probably golden. Anything that gets the grader's attention is good. For example, try wearing an unusual hat during the test.

Oh! Oh! How were the Annealogies? Any good ones?

Luckily there were no annealogies on this test, but I did pass the Miller Analogies test in the 85th percentile, so that's good.

I told my shrink about taking the MAT and he (the man who has a Medical Degree) said that he took it in 1972 and it was the hardest test he ever took.

So there is that.

And wearing a hat wouldn't have helped during the test because the people at the test we not the people grading it. But if I had been thinking I might have brought a picture of myself wearing an unusual hat and stapled it to my test.

Alas, it's too late now.
