And how does that make me feel?

First off, I really dislike tests, but I'm a fairly decent test taker. Even with knowing that, I was actually surprised by how well I did on the diagnostic test. Admittedly, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. But considering it's the middle of summer and I haven't been analyzing too much literature lately, I'm impressed. I'm also worried though. I definitely didn't know as many questions as I got right. I'm glad I guessed right on most of them this time, but I definitely have some studying to do. I don't always see the symbolism or imagery the author intends; sometimes, it's just a story or just a poem to me. My attention span also needs some work. By the end of the test, I just wanted to be done and ended up doing sub-par work.

  1. I can see what makes you such a strong test-taker. Your ability to distinguish between questions that you really knew the answers to and questions that you just got lucky on, and your clarity about which sub-set of skills you most want to work on this year as a result of taking the diagnostic will both be important factors in your success this year.
