Running with scissors is not an effective attempt at suicide.
I decided to look into the ACT/Compass test that I would need to take, should I decide to enroll.
Here is an excerpt from the directions on the sample essay of the Writing Skills Test, which is a test of grammatical competence. The excerpt explains how this example question differs from the actual test.
"The essay below contains the same number and types of errors that an actual Writing Skills Test unit would contain; however, for demonstration purposes, only a handful of the segments below have been selected for revision. These segments are indicated by bold type, and the items associated with them are shown below. (Note: There are additional errors in the essay that are not in bold that a student in an actual testing situation would need to respond to.)"
Dangling preposition, anyone? Oh, the irony.
This is a brilliant example of why I dropped out of college. If I am to be educated, I prefer that it not be done by the uneducated. And, more amusingly, they expect me to pay for such an education!
Its bad enough that anyone should pay for any education... but don't get me started on that rant. Heh.
Someone please talk me out of my educational cynicism. Quick, before I use it as an excuse to avoid uni! =)
