You either love tests or you hate them. I personally hate those who love them.
My whole life I've been terrified of tests. This includes quizzes, tests and standardized tests. I've always been a horrible test taker. I would study for hours upon hours and then come T-day my mind would go completely blank. Can you relate? What's worse is that I would start to sweat, break out in hives and start to feel sick to my stomach. Everyone just thought I needed Ritalin and/or Prozac so that's what I got. Well, that didn't really get me the A's. I was just a super hyper, happy teenager with bad grades. Boo!
My parents wanted to do everything and anything to help me feel confident and get the grades I needed to pass. I had tutors, went to study sessions, got permission to be an untimed test taker (this got a lot of eye-rolls in high school), etc. I got a private SAT tutor that cost more than some cars and I didn't even submit my SAT scores! We did it all. Bottom line is I hate them and I suck at them. This is me embracing it.
After graduating from college I was thrilled to not have to take another freaking test. I had thought about becoming a clinical psychologist or a nutritionist, but I didn't want to take a test. How silly is that?
There are so many things that I want to do in this world that require me to take a test. Can I really let my future happiness, my career be stopped by the fear of a test? NO!

Last August I quit my job to go back to school. I decided that I wanted to take science courses so I could apply to med schools. This was a huge step for me. 1. It had been 5 years since I had taken any sort of test and 2. I was going back to school; something I swore I would never do.
I went into the fall semester with a positive attitude. I would do whatever it takes to make the grade. I did. I studied for hours, sought extra help and really cut myself off from everyone. And boy did it pay off. I made the honor role!!
I'm 2 semesters in and 50 tests down. Someone give me words of encouragement or some Ritalin to keep going because I'm losing steam.
