What To Think of First College Exam

Honestly I was extremely terrified for this exam. It was my FIRST college exam. I didn't know what to expect or how to feel. The night before I had to work until 10 pm and the whole shift I was freaking out. But coming into the exam today and finishing it I think all went well and I think I freaked out for nothing. I was surprise some of the questions were the same exact questions that we had practiced answering in class. I also thought the test was going to be more questions than it was. I feel like we covered more information than was given on the test. No the exam didn't meet my expectations because I thought I was going to be given a whole different questions about the topics. I prepared for the test by going over my vocabulary every other day to make sure I knew them all. I went over every set of notes we took and broke them up into Cornell notes. I went back through the chapters for this until and read all my highlighter information along with the notes I had made. I also went back over all the try it and apply it things. I believe this process was very beneficial. I think there's some areas that need work but I will work on that next go round. A full short answer, writing intensive test felt very tiring and very lengthy in the moment. It wasn't difficult it was just time consuming. The part that was the most difficult is that I wasn't use to getting full short answer response tests. All throughout of school career tests would have multiple times of questions. Yes, short answers her and there along with vocabulary but not the whole test. So that's something that is new to me.

  5. I agree with you because, I thought the exam was going to be way different than what it really was. Also, we did go over more material than, what was on the actual exam. And you prepared very well that's great.

  7. Kaitlyn,
    I hate exams every time I do them, I get nervous but I have to do what to do. It is kind of challenging with the short answer question, but you will get the hang of it after a while. Some of it was difficult at times.
