Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine--in spite of the algebra! I'll be rooting you on as I frantically attempt to finish my Holmestice fic. :)

Thanks! And I'm rooting for you to get Holmestice done in time! I'm sure it'll be fantastic.

Good luck sweet girl! I hope all goes well and that you will reach all your goals. And really, all those gatekeepers that are there only to keep you out, well they follow us through life. May they some day disappear forever and stop plaguing our world.

Ugh, yeah, algebra. *shudders* I hope it goes okay!

(I also applaud your use of the word 'inchoate' *nod* ^_^)

Yeah, it's like.... studying vocab much?

The worst was yesterday at work when I wanted to put a quantity in scientific notation. >_< "So we've QC'd 9.1x10^3 cards...."

I have not thought about scientific notation...in a very long time *_*

So do you feel like it went okay? When do the results come out?

Hope the test went well! <3. I'm sure you did magnificently!

I hate how standardized tests have really become this mechanism of exploitation. As you progress in most fields, it gets more and more expensive to take these sorts of certification exams. My Board exam is $1300 for one try. Thankfully work reimburses me for it (after several months...takes forever to get the money back...nevermind the school loans...It's like i'm still living off a resident's pay sometimes...ugh.) but it makes no sense as to why it costs so much to take other than they know that everyone in the field must take it and they are the only ones who give it. So they have a monopoly and they charge whatever they want. Someone somewhere is getting rich off of the want to excel in our careers and it's unsettling.

Nevertheless, again, hope the test went well. Here's to no more standardized tests for a long time! <3
