....testing....(ugh)

So luckily I'm a senior, graduating after this quarter, if i do well enough. But i have had to take plenty of tests to get to this point. I hate testing, but what student doesn't? There is really no way to really prepare yourself for these standardized tests, except for brushing up on a few old topics like math, writing, or reading. If your going to try and study, it's pretty much a hit and miss kind of situation. You can never be quite sure what will be on the test itself. "They" always say that the day before testing that you should get a good nights sleep and eat breakfast, that's all the suggested preparing that "they" will tell you. I dislike taking these tests but then again it's a good way to brush up on some subjects, and refresh your memory. I'm always surprised at some of the things I know, that I didn't' know that I knew, like some math or science. Sometimes it's relaxing to get away from some stressful classes, but that's just me.

It is funny that our mind shelves and files away certain tidbits of knowledge. You make a good point about the standard teacher line.. we're awfully glad we're not taking the tests, to be honest and I block them from my mind until they appear-- which is why I suppose I don't have essay review days... something to muse over...
