Took the practice test. Did okay.

Took another practice test. Did okay.

Showed up for the test. Sat down at the computer.

Like, the first one was something I sort of recognized. The next one was complicated. The next one was like that scene in Men In Black where they're asking you truly bizarre shit. And it just went on like that. It was not good.

And then I got a 1570. Which I understand is pretty good.

Still didn't get into the grad program I applied for so it's all rather moot. However, four months later I was making $600 a day while a graduate of the program I didn't get into changed the coffee in the break room. All in all, a win.
