Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :

Tomorrow at 8 AM Pacific time, I'll be sitting in Oak Grove High School, starting the California High School Proficiency Examination.

If I pass, I get the certificate (think of it as a GED, as the State does not recognize a diploma from private schools). If I fail, I go into a deep depression having dissapointed my family, friends, schoolmates, get ridiculed to death, and try again in November.

Please wish me luck, I'll need it.

A very good luck from me....just relax...it's always worse when you're nervous...although I do know that's easier said than done, but...*smiles*

GOOD LUCK, CHARLES

Just make sure you can spell your name...I hear that is VERY important! *grins*

I have no idea what a GED is or why California doesn't recognize private schools, but good luck anyway.

I of course wish you luck, but I know you don't need it... instead of freaking out, just know that you ARE capable of taking this test, and trust me... everything WILL get better then... stress doesn't help, all it does is hurt. Stay calm and you'll be fine... both PRE-test, and during the test.

So, probably a bit pointless posting here LONG after CC's gone to bed, as by the time he next checks here, he'll have taken his exam...

I predict...84%

No, wait...

82%

We don't get scores. We get PASS or FAIL.
In a way, that's good - it's not supposed to measure our abilities in retrospect. In a way, it's bad - we don't know how close we camse if we failed.

Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :

It appears I should take less advice from my friends in the future... They insisted that the test was terribly hard and that they'd probably fail the first time as well.

The test was astoundingly easy. *LOL*

If I didn't pass, I'll be more than surprised.

This topic reminds me of Chris Rock... this is from memory, so don't blame me if I miss a line or two.

"Got myself a GED. Know what that means? Good Enough Diploma. You know it's bullshit when you walk in there. Let me get this straight. I can make up four years... in six hours? After you get your GED, someone's always got the nerve to say 'Now you can go to college.' Slow down... I think it's a little obvious that high school was kicking my ass."

I could listen to Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy and George Carlin all day long and never get sick of them. Andrew Dice Clay, too, if I'm feeling fiesty...

What is it with CC? First MaGIC was stuck to him like a rash, and now Jubes is going the same way.
Here Charles, maybe you can tell me your secret over a couple of drinks, I'll buy!

BTW, what happened to CC's interrogation? I suppose everything dies, this proves it.
