I like it when perfect people's faces break out, and when smart people fail a test...

I remember people like you. When I was in language school in the Air Force, I walked into the final exam with the highest GPA in my class. And for some reason, sitting there as they handed out the number 2 pencils and the sheets covered with little circles, I had, for the first and last time in my life, an onset of paralyzing test anxiety. One that hit me so hard I had to ask the department to excuse me from the final and take it later. Trembling so hard I couldn't even correctly fill in the little circles with the pencil. For the hell of it I sat through the test and tried to complete it, got about a sixty where I would have been expected to ace. I must say there were some sly smiles around afterwards among my cohorts. Mostly from the lower half of the GPA's.
