Does that not sent shivers down your spine (speaking of which, it kind of looks like a spine)?
it does for me, thats for sure!
there is something SO wrong with this picture, and i am absolutely positive those always nice professors do it on purpose. they do it on purpose to mess up poor, innocent, test taking people like me.
lets have a little heart to heart here, k?
if you were filling in one of these handy dandy little test taking contraptions and there were, say 3 or 4 or even 5 of the same letter in a row would that not cause you some problems? it makes me feel like i have totally messed up and i get so flustered that i just dont know what to do. even when the answers are easy cheesy it still makes me question my intelligence. i have to go back and read and re-read the questions over and over and over until i can find an answer that will even remotely fit thats not the same as the others (hopefully one in the middle). it just causes problems, like missing that question even though you got it right in the first place and the professor was just trying to mess you up by putting the same answer for like a gajillion questions. or waisting valuable time trying to figure out if they really are all right, catch my drift?
something else that is quite bothersome is when there are a whole mixture of different letters except ONE. do they deliberatly leave out letters just to mess us poor students up? do you know what its like to answer 100 multiple choice questions and then realize you didnt mark any C's? (plus this just throws off the 'when in doubt mark C' campaign these silly people are teaching us).
for heavens sake my dear friends, lets just mix up the letters and then none of this would be a problem! infact, down with multiple choice tests! it is SO much easier to answer the fill in the blank type cause you can totally BS your way through it all...
anywho, what are your thoughts on Mr. Scantron?
i would really like to know

I could not agree MORE. I hate it when you look back and you haven't used a letter! The probability of using a letter atleast ONCE is so high that it just wouldn't make sense to not use it! If I were a professor I'd play tricks like that too...
Death to Mr. Scantron. I've never been good at scantron tests for some reason because I always second guess myself and get frustrated when the #2 lead will not erase with the bit of gnawed eraser I have left.
