I stared at my score. I had gotten 16 questions wrong. If it had been 16 out of 100, I would have been somewhat happy. But instead, I got 16 out of 37 questions wrong for an abysmal score of 57%. I hadn't scored that badly in a long, long time.

Last week I took a pre-test for the GMATs, the pre-qualifying exam to begin an MBA program. I'm still not 100% sure I'm going to go down this path but I've thought about it for years, and the first step is to pass the big test. The pre-test instructions said each section would take about 75 minutes. I scoffed at that. There's no way it would take me that long. I could knock both sections out in 1.5 hours flat.

Oh how wrong I was...
