Yes!<\/p>\n
Yesterday I took my exam for the Super Hard Payroll Certification. I was given 4 hours to take the exam and about midway through, I thought, “Well, this isn’t going well…”. I was able to mark any question I wanted as “Review Later” and I marked at least a quarter of the questions. After I’d gone through all the questions once I went through the review questions and checked my math and thought about the answers I’d given to the non-calculation questions. There were at least a few that I had no clue on.<\/p>\n
At the end, I thought to myself, “It’s OK if I failed and it’s great if I passed, it’s OK if I failed and it’s great if I passed.” I truly had no idea how I’d done. After you click on “finished test” (or whatever it’s called), they make you answer some demographic questions about methods you used to study. Strangely, “Signed up for study group that was cancelled, jerks! Had to study using help from coworkers and ghetto flashcards made from penguin notepaper*” was NOT an option.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, my result came up on the screen. “Test result: Pass”. And I looked at it and thought, Hmm, now which one is “Pass” again? Then it clicked that the next word was “Congratulations…” and that they would probably not congratulate me for failing this freaking thing.<\/p>\n
So, that’s the story of how I passed the exam using 3 markers, 8 pages of dry erase notebook, and my trusty $10 Staples calculator BUT had to use context clues to figure out that I had passed.<\/p>\n
Ah.<\/p>\n
* I couldn’t find any note cards at home the night I decided I wanted to make flashcards, but I did find a pad of penguin shaped note paper, so I had to improvise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
