    Teachers have been nailing students for years with that one! Human nature is something I never tire of observing...

    I had a teacher pull this truck one time. She said follow the directions completely before taking the test. The directions were to put your name in the top right corner and turn it back in.
    Most of us failed! *LOL*

    Akelamalu-Please allow me to apologize for my sons' rude comments when you visited his blog. He is extremely opinionated and works in an industry where impolite behavior is apparently common. He was not brought up that way, and I have already written him a response I bet he won't have the guts to post. So sorry.

    I did this test in about 5th grade. I remember imeediately scanning to the end because it struck me as suspicious, so I was finished in seconds. I also remember the poor schmuck who announced his name.
