Benchmark Placement Test

It was my frist day of high school in Iowa when I discovered English and reading were easy. I was sitting at the desk right in front of the teacher. It was my second day of his class and I already didn't care for him. He took a stack of pamphlets and bubble sheets off his desk.
“These are benchmark placement tests it will help me see where you're at,” he said snarkily.
The test looked like something I've taken before, but I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. There were vocabulary, reading, and grammar sections. I sped through the vocabulary and wondered what sort of a person would miss these words like disgruntlement and abyss. Surely I would pass this section. Grammer has never been my strong point so when I got to this section I was basically

using anything that sounded right. By the end, I thought I only got average and nothing would come of it.
I went to a few more English classes before this announcement came. “could I see Patrick and Rachel outside my room”.
I walked out the door wondering what I did wrong and thoughts about going to the principal, even though rationally that doesn't make sense, ran through my hair.
“You guys did really well on the placement test, we have decided to put you guys in the advanced English class with, Mr. stevens", and so forth my adventure of being good at English began.
