Testing is in progress. I hate tests. Always have. Never been good at them. My SAT scores were 940 the first time and 960 the second time. I just do not test well. I know its not a reflection of my intellegence, because what I lack in testing ability I make up for in perseverence and longivity. I just don't like to quit. For as much as I hate taking tests, I loath quitting that much more.
Not that I have never wanted to quit. I've said to myself "I quit" or "I can't do this" countless times, but something in me pushed me on past the breaking point to complete what I started. So even if I do not excel with flying colors on a test, I never quit it. For me the pass is not the percentage of what I get right, but whether I finished the class as a whole.
So what am I getting at? Its simple. Finish what you start. And understand that testing is always in progress. The tests never stop coming. Its the stress of them that stretches us to grow into the people we are designed for. Let me reiterate that I hate tests, but I love completing them. I love filling in the last bubble and handing it in with some sort of confidence that I completed the thing I hate, and pass or fail, hell or high water I'm still learning.
(Actually, you hate filling in bubble sheets, and that's why I have to do it for you. But I get your point.) :P
