It's a practice thing, of course.  I passed the 5-wpm test pretty easily 
then actually made a bunch of contacts on a borrowed Ten Tec Century 21 to 
get my speed up to 13.  Passed that because the place I took the test used 
the multiple-choice test for Morse and I got lucky ... never would have 
passed if they'd tried to fine one minute solid copy or they'd used the 
fill-in-the-blank test.  Took the 20-wpm test at least twice, but never 
could quite get it.

Of course, that's all gone as of 2007 ... but I'd really, really like to 
get my 20-wpm Code Proficiency certificate, something the ARRL still 
awards.  See http://www.arrl.org/code-proficiency-certificate
