You should not have gotten a B in math, then - this means your 3.5 should have come from other areas, which is fine.

You're chicken-and-egg'ing the problem here - 'you don't test well' usually means "you're bad at one area" (which is fine, but should be reflected in the test) or "you read/analyze slowly" which is ALSO a measure of aptitude.

I'll go back and address some others when I'm not in the middle of the war room, but one last thing: if you actually think Carnation's analogy holds ANY water, you're way out of touch with reality.
