(27,830 posts)The first score was so alarming, they called my parents to the school. They decided something was 'amiss' and to test me, one more time. I was alone in a room with NO distractions. Apparently I did much better because I definitely scored above average. That's another one of those sharp memories because I clearly recall how confused I was the first time I took that test.
My biggest problem was, and still is, numbers. I am a fast reader and know when I'm reading something if it just doesn't make sense so I go back and read it again. Well, and sometimes again, again. However, when it comes to numbers, I have NO idea if I'm transposing. I pretty much have to go REALLY SLOW and quadruple check sums. Math has always been my educational Achilles Heel.
