I took
the Principal Certification exam last week and passed on my first attempt. I
completely understand how students may feel while taking a standardized exam. I
found myself daydreaming, having flashbacks, feeling my back / neck muscles
tighten, and getting annoyed about the length of the exam. At one point, I
honestly had a moment where I wanted to quit due to the length of the exam; however, the thought of
having to go through such a tortuous process again snapped me back to reality.
If this is how an adult with years of test-taking skills and strategies under
his belt reacted to such an exam, then I can only imagine how our students must
feel when they are taking multiple exams.
