Bertha Billingsworth (BB for short) is basically a happy personuntil she has to take a test. To her, the word test stands for Terrible Every Single Time, because thats how she does on them TERRIBLE!

Whenever I see or hear the word test

The hair on the back of my neck stands up.
My face turns as red as a beet.
I start to sweat, my stomach aches,
and I cant control my feet!

What if I get every answer wrong?
And I dont get any right.
I just know Ill get a bad grade on this test,
so I dont even want to try!

BBs teacher comes to the rescue by inviting her to become a member of the Anti-Test Anxiety Society. She tells BB that TEST stands for Think Each Situation Through! She also ends up teaching BB the Dynamic Dozen (12 amazing test taking strategies), and convinces her to use her GET TO brain instead of her HAVE TO brain. Now when BB takes a test, she is calm and focused and thanks to her teacher, the Terrible now stands for Terrific!
