progressive exam reflection
On this test I got three questions wrong. the questions I had gotten wrong were numbers 11, 19, 21, and 23.
The correct answers were A, A, B, and D. The answers I put down were A, B, D, and B. I put those incorrect answers because of these four reasons; i made a mechanical error, i knew what it was but i did not fill in the right answer bubble. I was not careful while reading the question and answers. there was a confusing question and i did not know how to answer it so i just bubbled in a random answer. and last but not least i did not know either the question or the answer.
so what i have learned about myself is that i should take more time to study, make sure i mark the correct answer, and make sure i know what the questions and answers are.

mid term exam reflection 2013
my score on the mid term exam was 19/25. some reasons were because they were confusing or i didnt know about the subject. one of the questions i got wrong was number 13, i got it wrong because even though we reviewed it i was still confused and i forgot it. another question i got wrong was 23, i got it wrong because i had no idea what the question was saying and i did not study well. What i learned about me as a test taker was that i should study way more so that i can excel in classes. Another thing i learned was that i should really read the questions so that i can understand it better.
