Best of Friends?

Tests and I do not get along. We are like oil and water. Once upon a time I had a person in my life who could not understand why tests were so hard for me, when they were so easy for them. To this individual, I would like to say, try being dyslexic and having a hard time reading coupled with ADHD and not being able to sit still. Also, I'd like to add, look at me now. I am a semester away from graduating with my BS. Like anything you cannot fathom what it is like for someone else. Simply because one subject may come easy to one person does not mean that is comes easy to someone else. Likewise, just because you can do well on tests and the person next to you does not, does not mean that they are dumb or otherwise inadequate. Perhaps they are not best of friends with tests, such is the case with me. I know the material, but there are three problems, I go blank when I get to the test, I can't sit still and I can't read. Oh joy. I took all of my finals today, and got my miserable grade back. Really, it was bad, and it was about as bad as you are probably thinking. However, I would not be nearly as stressed as I am except that I really, Really, REALLY need to get good grades. It's not like I have any time to make it up. Eek. I also worry about when I go to retake the MAT and when I take the licensing test after I graduate. Hopefully I can pull it together for both.
