What did we say back in the 1980s? "Psyche!"

> Stressed-out seventh-graders taking a standardized exam to determine whether they'll be promoted got an unusual English lesson yesterday: A means F, B means G, C means H, and D means J.

> The lecture was repeated by teachers for about 72,000 pencil-gnawing city students who sat for the state English Language Arts test – and were given answer sheets rife with errors.

> For five of the exam's 26 multiple-choice questions with answer options of A, B, C and D, the bubble sheet for recording answers offered students choices of F, G, H and J.

> The mistake was magnified by the fact that the test for the first time is being used by the city to determine whether a student should be elevated to the eighth grade.
