Default A Slightly Selfish Request.

Hey folks. So Saturday, June 9th, beginning at 8am, I am taking the ACT. Tests and I don't get along (I don't do porrly, I am just terrified of taking tests. I've been having nightmares about this one for the past two weeks, today I was shaking like crazy, and broke down crying just out of nervousness. Not fun. ). So, please, pray for me, wish me luck, send good thoughts via mental telepathy, anything! Anything positive will be MUCH appreciated, and probably will help.

Oh, and Princess, I'm employing your strategy. Pasta at dinner, granola for breakfast tomorrow, and my favourite Ghiradelli for a snack. Oh, and my favourite gum so I don't starting chewing pencils or fingernails. Haha!

Anywhoozle. I'm off for a good nights' sleep. Thank you in advance for anything positive sent my way.

I was advised for my crazy nursing tests to "go with what you know". Don't let some of the logical answer possibilities trick you into guessing if your gut tells you something else. You know that you know this stuff and we all know that you're good.

Sending rays of positive test-defeating mental energy your way! *puts fingertips to forehead, squeezes eyes shut* (hope it's working!)

I've got no idea what ACT means but;

Gongrats And is it important to be honourable? As long as you've passed.

ACT is a standarized American test that one takes before college. pretty much, it's to show that one functions at at least a highschool level, and won't crash and burn in college/uni. I think it's maybe similar to A-Levels...(although I'm not exactly sure. Could be way off with that comparison!)

And honours are just for those who score above average (I believe honour role level starts at 31 at my college of choice.). Honour role means scholarships, better chance of Dean's List, and some other nifty perks. However, it's not a HUGE deal.

Sorry I couldn't be there to help you cheat. Ah, you may have done better without a clown offering humourous answers, anyway.
