Exam 1


I found that exam 1 was way different than my tests in high school. I was expecting the exam to be different with more of the vocabulary words together in the front and not really be short answer questions. The tests that I have always done were mostly multiple choice or matching and a hand full of short answers questions. When I saw the test today I was kind of shocked at first because there were only short answer questions, but after I read them they were not that hard to answer. I prepared myself for this exam by reading over the information in my notes over and over and also rewriting the information I thought was going to be on the test. I also studied with my sister and she would quiz me on the information that was on the study guide. When I got to class today I helped a classmate/friend study and that also helped me remember the vocabulary right before the test. While taking my exam I skipped around because I would not remember the answer to that question but as I made my way back to it I would remember the answer to it. If I don’t know the answer to the question it is better for me just to skip it then just stress over that one question and miss all the other questions. I feel like the hardest part of the exam for me is having to write in complete sentences I never was told only complete sentences or no credit in high school. In high school they would not look at your work that hard to make sure they were complete sentences. Overall I feel good about my exam but I will really know how I did when I get it back and can see how to study better for my next exam.

  4. Skylar, Here's the great thing about writing in complete sentences: you have the Blinn Writing Center and my Office Hours to consult regarding this skill. And, once you learn it, you've got it!
