Miller Analogies Test RESULTS

I checked my mailbox today and found in it my MAT test results. Three results are given: Scaled Score, Percentile for Intended Major and Percentile for Total Group.

DTS told me that they are looking for a 400+ score on this test, out of a maximum 600. My score meets the DTS requirement. However, included with my score is a coupon for a retest. According to the Miller Analogies web page, the retest coupon is not indicative that I need to retest, only that I can do it if I like.

So I now wonder if I should take the test again just because I can or should I not worry about it, knowing that I've fulfilled the DTS requirement. If I do worse the second time will that reflect badly on me or conversely if I do better will it look suspicious? I can be very self-critical at times and sometimes that's good. Other times it's bad. I think I worry about some things too much.

Now I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person but I'd be lying to you if I didn't tell you that some of those test questions just plain floored me. Some of the words I had no clue of the meanings, let alone how to relate them to the other words in the question/analogy.

I think I'll call Sister Mary Jane "just like the candy bar" tomorrow and see when she's giving the test again. Maybe I can take it next week and get DTS another set of scores before they decide my fate.

Yeah, that's the plan.
