You know how some people might not know the material all that well, but they are pros at "test-taking"?
Well, I am not one of them.
I *know* the material. Heck, we are covering something that I enjoy immensely now, so it's inevitable that I know the material.
Yet, I fall for every. single. trick. question on those damn tests. I start questioning myself and when I *knew* right away (!) what the answer was I think to myself: "Nah... it can not be *that* easy... it's gotta be something different". When it indeed *is* that easy.
Sigh.
Well, as I tell my DD - we are in school not to get the grades, but to get the knowledge.
(still mad at myself though :vent: )
