So I have a plan for the next two months, and this is what it is. Friends may recall waaaaaaaaaaay back in 1984 (hold on, let me brush away that dust!) that when I took the placement test (under duress) at SPC (then SPJC) I let dyslexia, test anxiety and despair take over, and turned in a blank Math test, believing at the time that I’d never make it into college anyway, disappoint my Father and bring disgrace upon my family etcetera… turns out I was SO wrong, eh? Anyhow, the resulting math score relegated me to dummy math classes before I could attend college level (no surprise there) to the tune of nine worthless (but expensive) credits. Even though I was seventeen at the time, those test scores are what are in the schools computer. I explained all this to the counselor, pleading old age and world weariness (I’m nearly forty, I’ve got two kids, I took that test twenty-three years ago, puh-lease!) and he got me permission to retake the dratted thing. So NOW I am in the unenviable position of taking a test on something I haven’t studied in twenty years and more….wheee. (Sarcasm there) So anyway, my plan is this. I will buy the books (or similar) that cover the math concepts I will have on the test. I will spend the month of November studying the concepts every day while Elijah is in school, and then take the test at the end of November. This will raise my test scores (one hopes!) and will either get me out of at least one of the math classes, or at the very least, get me ahead of the game so that I can take all three in one semester (having continued studying through December) and be DONE with it. Opinions?
