I got a bit of an ego boost today in my English class when JC let me know that I was one of only about three students she’d ever seen get a perfect score on their Compass English placement test.
That ego boost was quite nicely taken care of about an hour later when I took the pre-test for the next lesson in my math class and got another perfect score — a perfect zero.
Heh. Oops. Words always have been far easier than numbers for me. Homework time!

Parents hope they pass on their best quaities to their children, but it does not allways work that way. On the SAT and GRE, I was in the 99th and 98th percentile in the language area. On both, I tested at the 50% level in math.
