    Now that I disagree with to some extent. Not everyone who is a
    bad test-taker is in the above category. Some people do get
    downright panic attacks on tests, and miss problems that they
    could do perfectly well under other circumstances. The red flag
    for me is that people who are poor test-takers of *that* kind
    usually don't say the *material* on the test was hard. In fact,
    they usually say specifically that it seemed easy (or at least
    very do-able) when they looked at it later, under more relaxed
    circumstances.
