I was in my mid-30s. Had no schooling after high-school. Lady friend across the street came into my house one afternoon, handed me a piece of paper. Said take this test. She timed me, I took the test. I took 3.5 minutes to answer all the q’s on both sides. She graded it. I got 100%.

THEN she told me that this was the test currently being given to qualify teachers. They had 2 hours to take it and only needed 50% to pass.

The teachers state-wide were in a huge ruckus because the test was SO hard.

OMG.

"Mumford eventually approached Shaw and asked her to take a biology certification examination on behalf of a teacher who had failed the test eleven times and was in danger of losing her job.

Shaw initially declined but, after meeting the teacher who needed the test taken, agreed to take the test for $1000. Shaw took approximately twelve to fifteen tests and was paid approximately $8,000," according to a statement issued by Stanton's office.
