The highest rated educational system in the world is that of Finland. Heck, they do not even start their children in school until the age of seven. And then there is only one official testing that is ever done at the age of sixteen!
Imagine that! They actually manage to allow their children to have the wonder and happiness of childhood! However, teaching is one of the highest regarded careers in all of Finland! Just who do they think thay are anyway! Intelligent thinking people??
When I was in school a kid told me that if you put your book under your pillow, you’ll remember everything you need to study.…It didn’t work.…Yes, I AM that gullible.
My cousin and I lived in the same apartment building, so we walked to school together. My mom would know when I had a big test that day. My cousin would show up 15 minutes early.
I have another friend who went in to take the bar exam. He did not complete the test on the first day. They let him retake the test the next time it was offered. He passed out so fast the first time, they were sure he didn’t get further than putting his name on the paper.
My approach for test taking was to get a good night’s sleep. Being able to stay awake for the test is a good strategy.
Just wait until your 40+ and still having nightmares that you have a test and you haven’t studied for it, and you don’t even remember where it’s being given.

That’s only supposed to happen on Christmas Eve. The other 364 (365 on a leap year) nights you’re not supposed to dream of sugar plums.

I always thought of Linus as the top of his class, the contrary of Sally and Peppermint Patty.

If a person is convinced that they are going to die tomorrow, they usually find a way to make it happen.

Maybe the test will be on Bible verses – Linus will win, hands down.

Don’t lose sleep over it Linus! There are only two possible outcomes…

I actually had trouble getting to sleep for NO reason just the other night, so I can easily connect with Linus here.
