This is incorrect.

A testee is ‘one who takes an examination’. What you have on this thread is a selection of the board readership who can only be described as Test Groupies. They see a ‘test’ thread and can’t help but contribute to it, especially when the OP specifically requests they do not.

My qualifications in this sphere of interest are indisputably and prodigiously fabulous. I am the most experienced Test Thread Watcher ever to have disgraced this the portals of this message board. I defy anybody to challenge my spontaneously thought out theories.
