I have done well on multiple choice tests on subjects about which I know nothing. I just do well on multiple choice tests. Unfortunately, while life is frequently a multiple choice test, the skills don't transfer.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

This is totally my feeling, Ginger--if all of life were like the SAT or the GRE, I'd be totally set. Sadly, it's not.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, it's because I love you that I do not change my tag.
Thank you, meara. I'm tired enough as it is. A combination of jet lag and my bizarre sleeping schedule in India. And I need to write an article, but I'm so zonked. Also fill out the FAFSA. And start researching. I hope I don't fall asleep during Veronica Mars.

I have done well on multiple choice tests on subjects about which I know nothing.
Me, too! I remember figuring out the difference between heterozygous and homozygous based on what I knew about homesexuals and heterosexuals. Also, multiple choice tests seem to follow a pattern similar to the pattern of the Jeopardy "answers" for which I can often guess the correct "question" based on the phrasing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Me too. I got a 5 on the biology AP exam. There's no way that I could have gotten a decent grade in a college intro biology class with the amount of knowledge I had; I just memorized everything I could from the review book and worked through the choices logically.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Everyone above me was posting these incredibly high scores, and I started to think... huh.
Everyone here is wicked smaht. But no one else is married to Tom, so I take my comfort in that. I was smart enough to get that dude cooking for me every night and every morning. For life!

It's a shame there's no market out there that would let me trade my SAT scores for a Tom.

Always Anti-fascist!
I took the ACT, being west of the Mississippi and not the sort of person whose skills are often reflected well by standardized tests. They weren't that good, although the stratospheric verbal did make colleges send me stuff for a while.

Shoot, I'd TOTALLY trade the SAT scores for a Tom. Or, well, a Thomasina. :)

Mw, too meara. But I would take either/or.
