That's great and it is so true cuz the same thing happened to me.

In 1999 after graduating from ASU, I took the teacher certification test which is called Praxis I. It has 3 sections which are reading, writing, and math. I scored so-so on the reading and writing parts barely passing them. At that time, my ASL was more of SEE.

Then in 2000, I enrolled at Gallaudet University and became fluent in ASL. I took the test again in 2004 because I didnt pass the math section for Maryland's criteria. I got nearly perfect scores on my reading and writing tests. I felt that by becoming bilingual helped me to comprehend the questions and be more creative with my writing.

That's great about your boyfriend! Tell him good job!
