Taking tests...

So, I had my testing today with the Washington State Attorney General's Office, which by the way, I passed with flying colors! Woot for me! I was pretty nervous about taking a test because for one thing, I haven't been in school for about 12 years, and am kind out of date as far as on-the-job experience testing goes.

So, for one thing, I couldn't find the damn AG's office today. It took me forever to figure out where this friggin' hidden basement was. Here I am wiggin' that I'm late for a testing appointment, and I figured out the best way to soothe myself when I'm lost, no joke! So, I call the HR department, and explain that I'm late, and I'm driving around in circles, trying to find this hidden closet of a street to turn on, when I suddenly see the street and literally exclaimed out loud: "BRB, going to Narnia!" Thanks Kenny, for an anology that I will probably use the rest of my life now.

Thankfully, it turns out the testing room was overbooked and the HR department was really glad I was late, because it worked out for them.

So I was a given a base scoreline for the test I was taking. Below I have listed the scores I had to acheive in order to move forward in the selection process for the positon:

Keyboarding: 40 wpm
Data Entry: 6,800 hkm
Filing: 70%
Proofreeding: 70%

Here is how I tested:

Keyboarding: 85 wpm
Data Entry: 12, 500 hkm
Filing: 90%
Proofreading: 83%

So, I pretty much kicked ass on Keyboarding and Data Entry. This is due to many, many diplomatic multi-tasking conversations as a guild master in World of Warcraft. I think all my fast typing skills finally paid off, thanks for the numerous hours typing out why Stewiegryphon couldn't be an officer, multiple times....

Proofreading was definitely my worst subject. I was wishing I had a "Pocket Matt Ford" at that moment to help me be an immaculate English speaking and spelling guru, but alas, I managed to pass. I'm happy I at least didn't abbreviate: brb, lrn2play, omgwookies, newbalert, usuckabigfat1, ih8proofreadinglettersbyidiotsomgwutawasteoftimewutever...

All in all, I was told that I should hear back for the next step of our wonderful state government's processing system within the next 1-2 weeks. I did get the "wink" by the HR department that I didn't suck, and my scores were awesome compared to others, so I have nothing to complain about, oh, and I almost forgot, some dude liked my shoes when I was waiting for my test... maybe he was omgiwantbuttsecksgay?... but, can't blame him, my high-heels are amazing.
