A.  Grades are what gives power to tests! A test grade is not a measure
        of your intelligence, creativity, or an indication of your ability to
        contribute to society.  All that a test measures is how well you did
        that day on that particular test.

B.      If you are anxious and blow a test, that grade does not measure
        what you learned.

C.      If you are a good guesser or test-taker, you can fake your way
        through a test.  This does not mean that you learned the content.

D.      A test grade is not a measure of self-worth.  A bad test grade
        does not mean you are a bad person!

E.    Try to keep everything in perspective--a test is your opportunity
        to let the instructor know what you have learned.
