Perhaps the results of this test don't predict academic success very well. I graduated at the top of my program (of about 30 graduates) last year and scored only 20.5k. Maybe I fell behind my peers by only reading comp sci, math, business,

Once while driving down to the Oregon coast, I was very surprised to be driving through a rural area and suddenly see a 747 parked near the highway, at what appeared to be a very small airfield. Now that I know what the place is, I definite
