I asked if he thought he could pass the HVAC certification exam? He said that most anyone could probably pass that.
After passing my HVAC certification exam, I was really proud of myself. I didn’t think the test was nearly as hard as everyone had made it out to be, and I aced it. I told mom and dad about my perfect score, even before I told my wife. Everyone was proud of me, all except my brother, of course. When he called, he said mom and dad had told him about my perfect score on the certification exam. I could hear he wasn’t as impressed as mom and dad, but he was going to make sure I knew how unimpressed he was. He started talking about how he had to take the bar exam three times before he passed. Most people took it at least three times, and many took it more than that. He compared his bar exam to my certification exam. I laughed, but only because I didn’t want to get angry. I knew he had to steal my thunder. He always did, because he had to be the big shot in the family. He said that if I had to take the bar exam, there was no way I would have passed. I asked if he thought he could pass the HVAC certification exam? He said that most anyone could probably pass that. I took my test over to his house and started asking questions. He refused to answer a single one, and twice, he looked like he did not know what I was talking about. I told him his law exam was hard, but so was my certification exam. It didn’t matter if it was HVAC or law, you only passed if you studied for the exam.
