Test-taking should never be an art. Matter of fact, for fun, I submitted one of the tests from the NF (won't say which one or which sport) to our "quality test monitoring" task force here at work. They couldn't believe I had to take such a piss-poorly written test three times a year (football, basketball, and track) on an annual basis. I then took their astonishment to write better tests for the classes I teach. Thanks to the Fed, I'm a better test-writer!
