My son is preparing for the SATs (pretty diligently, I'm pleased to see). As he was asking my husband and me (I know grammatically it's not my husband and I..or at least so I've told my son as he slogs through the grammar sections)...anyway, I digress. My son suggested that we should try the SATs again--after all, it's only been about 30 years!)
So, I tried. I set the timer. I had my number 2 pencil. Then, Linksys called from India to see how my network router was working (go figure, they refused to talk to me because my router was out of warranty but they called back to see how I was doing). Then, my husband, who is sitting next to me perusing youtube for inexplicable reasons, decides to start playing videos REALLY LOUDLY.
"You're trying to sabotage my test," I said. "Please, just SHUT UP so I can concentrate!" I take these tests very seriously.
I did ok on the verbal (oh, it's got some other name now, like critical reading). But the passages were abstruse and the questions oblique and I think I need a nap.
