Test Anxiety

January 9, 2007 at 3:09 AM

Today I took my state of Georgia required computer competency test for teachers. Exactly one question related to my subject area (about mp3 and wav files). I am normally a good test taker, but I had some anxiety about this one, because not only is my computer expertise lopsided, but it was also after school (after teaching 8 string classes) which is when my brain is always a bit fried. Anyway, my test seemed to have an inordinate amount of questions about kids totalling their bags of candy by making a spreadsheet and applying the Auto Sum. I did pass, however, so my certificate can now change from nonrenewable to renewable. Tomorrow I will actually have some time to practice before school (at about 7 a.m.) and at the end of the day before one of my more favorite teacher pastimes-required meetings that have nothing to do with me.
