First Test: Reflections

INSTRUCTIONS: Write a blog post that reflects on our test, how you prepared, how you did, what you learned and what you will do different as we work our way through our next unit.

Well as far as first tests of the year go, I'd have to say I did relatively well. I received 6 points on the essay, which was more than i expected because of all the hype it earned before hand. The multiple choice, which i received a three on, is about where I assumed i had scored when I left class Friday, which is a well enough score for me :)

I prepared as in I studied whenever i really had a chance and i did end up making a set of flashcards to help with the topics that weren't ingrained as well as others. I also printed off every chapter's study guide and the Graphic organizers, filling each out. i also answered many of the margin review questions, stopping when i figured i probably could find better ways to study with the little time i had left.
For the next test I hope to spend more time studying and to prepare more as we go through this unit rather than needing to cover as much as i did for this previous test. As in, make a few flashcards as we go, take more time on the CCV's, and studying using the guides as we read each section.
