I got kicked out of the system 2 minutes before it was to start and could not get back in to take the test. :x

Started out strong, stumbled near the middle.

I think that's the best I've felt about a test in a while. We'll see if it's enough, though.

Brutal. Too many literary questions.

I'll wait until video is posted to assess, but I'm not sure I made it to 40.

Wishing I had the time to take Tuesday or Wednesday (probably could have done Wednesday had I been willing to take it in the school library) as I felt the weakest on this after "simulating" the other two using the video. Want to see the video to recap though.

I feel that way too. I hope that doesn't just mean it was considerably easier than usual...

I think I may have a shot, but I need to wait and see the answers before I get my hopes up. I stumbled somewhere in the middle, but started and finished strong.

I'd call this of middling difficulty. Got 44 I'm pretty sure with a couple of brain cramps.

Maybe because I was taking it for real, but that felt about a thousand times harder than last night's. I've underestimated my performance before but I'd be very surprised if I made it to 44.

That one was def. harder than yesterday's. I got about 35 right, vs 42 yesterday. The first 10 were very hard!

Worst I've felt in a while with a test. I did 37, 36 the other two nights after the fact. I was going to take it Tuesday, but couldn't because of the technical issues.

Ridiculous. After the past two tests, this one was MUCH, MUCH harder. I was well over 40 on each of the other two. I'll feel lucky to have gotten 30 on this one.

By far the toughest of the three. Would have had 40 yesterday, but there's no way I passed this one. Very frustrated about the 2015 authors question and the math one I know what they wanted but still went literal in the moment.

I doubt I got more than 30. Too much literature and too much recent pop culture... *who* got married to *whoooooo* in 2015? Gimme a break.

Same here! There were a few questions that right after the next one was revealed that I realized I messed up one word and ruined the entire answer. Maybe 35 is attainable, but I'll be biting my fingernails until the video and the answers come out.

That was seriously demoralizing. I think I did my worst ever, and I've never gotten higher than like 34 :x

I wish I could've taken the test Tuesday or Wednesday but I work late and couldn't make it happen. I easily would've passed those two, but this one I totally bombed. There were about 7 or 8 that I had no answer for at all. I haven't been keeping up with my studying lately so I should've expected this. I really need to brush up on current books and movies for next year's test.
