Yeesh...taking the practice tests makes me feel like an idiot...or worse - a bad writer. I took a three hour long online test and got 51% of the questions right. Boo...

Of course I don't expect myself to know them, but wouldn't I know at least a little bit more? I want to get in the 99th percentile for reading and writing, not in the 70s or 80s, for crying out loud.

Stupid stupid stupid

Yes I know this sounds petty, but please understand - I feel like I have to succeed at this...I have to make it. "Making it" in my mind translates to being better than most. Better than 99% of test-takers, to be exact.
