Maybe I'm Not a Dummy...


I haven't taken a test that counted for anything for 21 years. The last time I worried about my score was on my Nevada driver license written test in 1989. I have been feeling like a real "dummy." But today, I took a test that means something.

In order to get my substitute teaching license I had to take the Nevada School Law test and the Nevada Constitution test. I read the text on our trip to Utah this past weekend and I reviewed yesterday and before the test today. I thought it would be a breeze.

It wasn't as easy as I thought. It has been a LONG time! There were 70 questions on the NSL test and 55 on the NC exam. All were true or false or multiple choice questions--my worst nightmares, as I ALWAYS tend to over think them...I was the next to the last person to leave the testing room-out of about 45 students. I seriously thought I might have to pay another $115 to re-take the tests.

But. I didn't. I passed. And I don't have to do them again. Hooray! Now I just have to study for and pass the Praxis general knowledge test.

(I got a 91% on the NSL exam and a 90% on the NC test. Not bad for a dummy...) (Hey, if I can't toot my own horn, who will??) (Ha ha.)

Man, I still have nightmares about testing in high school and college! So I understand. It feels good to know "ya still got it"!!!
