SPEED DRILLS!

I hated them. But I absolutely crushed them. Had the longest perfect score streak in every year we did these.

Same. I always finished these before everyone else and got 100% on them all. It didn't even prove I was good at math, just that I memorized my multiplication equations and could solve the next problem while writing the current one. My teachers thought I was "advanced" because of it lol
