Quietly Creeping into the room, slightly nervous and unsure what to expect clutching a graphite staff in one hand and a manila file in the other.
I show my ID and in exchange am given a stack of neatly stapled paper and a narrow green shaded sheet. Eyes scan the room looking for an empty seat. There was an isle in the back lightly populated. I quietly made my way to the corner, pull the chair from the desk and set my manila folder at my seat. I take a seat and a breath (not necessarily in that order) and glance down at the first page. I write my full name on the top of the test and the scan tron and read the first question...
slightly amused I pause and read it again... Hmmm, that question looks familiar. I knew the answer to the question before I had read it... I glance down at question 20, then turn to the last page...
No way could this possibly be happening to me.
The Natural History examination was composed entirely of all the practice questions from the end of the lectures. The very same practice questions that I had spent the entire week meticulously studying and studying.
THIS NEVER HAPPENS?
I finished the 100 question exam in about 20 minutes. A flawless performance...
A true moment of excellence in my academic career...
A feeling I hope I never ever forget...
Studying...who would've thought.. =)

Congrats! However, if the practice questions are never on the test why would you think this is a good way to 'meticulously study'? Will I ever give you a break? Good pull!
You gotta start somewhere Todd and this time it happened to be with the practice questions... Some times even I catch a break eh?
