job search update

so, I took a skills test for a job I applied for last week. I didn't do great, so I was just happy that I hAd finished it. Today I got a call from the recruiter "following up." He asked how I felt about the test, so I told him honestly that the parts that I was familiar with were pretty easy, but the parts that I hadn't worked with stumped me a bit. His responses sounded like that is what he wanted to hear. He said that although my score was not as high as they would like for a candidate, he really liked my background, and I did quite well considering the fact that I hadn't done this type of work before and the difficulty of the test. So he asked if I'd be willing to take it again with the hopes of bringing the score up. Well, duh...of course. So, that sounds encouraging...like if I bring my score up he would like to bring me in for an interview. I still have a lot of questions about the position, but I will take it if it offered to me even if it is contract-to-hire, and I have no idea what the salary would be. Wish me luck.
