Well, first of all, you might want to make sure you're registered for the "Texas Examination of Education Standards," or perhaps the "Texas Examination of Educator Standards," but certainly not the "Texas Examinaion [sic] of Educatior [sic] Standards," unless that's really how they spell things there.

JUST KIDDING. Although I do think it's funny that the only two typos were contained in the official name of the test you're taking on Saturday, there are more pressing matters at hand. Like the test, for instance. I think you'll be just fine; you just have to use your effective test-taking skills. Which is to say, give the answer they want, not the one you think is most appropriate, unless it's a written response. In that sample question you gave, the phrases "effective use of instructional time" and "increase[d] probability of students' success through immediate feedback" both screamed COMPUTERS to me, with all of the other answers going against those hints, at least from an administrative standpoint. I like your answer better, but you might just have to play their game and get through it. And those Bush's make up some pretty screwy games.

Anyway, hang in there, good luck, and you have at least a few days to either prepare or worry yourself sick about it. Pick the former. Then you can go to Ikea!

Talk to you soon -

By which you mean, my blatant liberalism?

Or my incredible test-taking skills?

Or my incredible spelling prowess?

By the way, for proof of my correctness in the "Sufjan CD Title Scandal," please click on the following link to travel to Rolling Stone's website and see that they refer to the CD as "Illinois:"
