Wow guys those are three great perspectives that I can appreciate.
Bmills: It is comforting to know that it's relatively "difficult" to fail a test.
Knucyt: You are completely correct about high scores being important in my situation. If they were borderline or even moderately above borderline my school would not allow them; they would try to sandbag me. They would rather I pay $3300 for a 3 credit class. Getting high scores gives them less of an excuse to deny me the credits.
Jennifer: I'm with you 100%. I'm a closet perfectionist. I have absolutely no familiarity with the "bare minimum." To me trying to scrape by with mere superficial knowledge on some of the questions that the tests cover is like gambling. I much prefer the certainty of knowing everything that will *reasonably* be covered in the exam.
Again, thank you all for the great feedback... Time to get back to studying for this principles of marketing test I have scheduled tomorrow :-P
