Daily Prompt: Test

I hate tests, always have.   I can study my ass off and still not be able to retain the information needed, much less be able to retrieve for a test.  The worst kind of tests are the kind that involve open-ended questions.  At least with “closed-ended” questions (is there really even such a thing) … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Test →
