Not a Good Test

I took a Praxis exam today.  These are expensive tests. This particular test was perhaps one of the most difficult tests I have taken to date. I really felt a tremendous amount of pressure with the time allotted for the test, the number of questions I had to answer and a written portion that I felt completely unprepared for.  Oh, I had prepared, I just prepared for stuff that did not help me on the test much at all.  It was really rather depressing.  I spent a lot of time working through some information based on what the test prep booklet suggested and it seemed as if I was studying the wrong material entirely - for the written portion of the test that is.  I thought I was going to be in good shape and had put together some acronyms to really help me remember a lot of information, expecting there to be some questions related to the topics the study guide said would be asked. Either I just completely misinterpreted the questions and could not make connections to what I had studied or these questions were really not related to those particular topics.  It was a pressure situation for me as I watched as the clock counted down and I had to get it done.  Very hard test for me.  Everything was irritating too.  The pounding of the keyboards seemed so loud as fellow test takes hammered out their typed responses.  There was a test taker on the row over from me that kept waiving his hand for help. I was distracted by all of his commotion.  It was not my favorite test.  If I pass somehow, I will be extremely surprised.  I am quite tired now and ready to call it a day.  Grateful for my wonderful children and the support they give me.
