Define Pretest Meaning

Pretest
A completely useless and meaningless assignment that university professors assign their students on a weekly basis. It usually tests on subjects that haven't been covered in class yet, hence "pre" test. The main problem is that it's also "pre" lesson, and therefore a waste of time.

"Man, did you do the pretest?"
"Yeah, but I couldn't answer any of the questions. We haven't covered any of it yet, and it's not in the book!"
"Tell me about it. Pretests are BOGUS!"
