Exam Metacognition 

 

Exploring the first exam of my life. 

    Well that was a fun exam. I really thought it was going to be much worse than it was. There was lots of “poopweeding'' and revising but it was not a problem for me; however, I expected the paragraph to be much shorter than it was. This took some time and focus to fix the awful, and sloppy Microworx.  The exam was not a large task and it felt manageable. Considering we did most of the work as prep I feel that I was able to be focused and did not feel overwhelmed during the exam period. The most challenging part of this was the 25 sentences. It was sometimes hard to find what piece of punctuation goes where. But, as I continued I got the hang of it and soon it was a walk in the park. I did a solid amount of studying for this exam. Redoing the quizzes and paragraphs on past Microworx really helped me through this. If I were to do this again I would have taken more time to master the rules and really pay close attention when studying. I get distracted easily and can lose focus. Overall after taking my first english exam I thought it went very well.   

    Now for the rest of the exams. This was a long week, lots of studying, reviewing, revising and stress. This was the first time that I have taken an exam and I thought that some went better than others. Those being English, Latin and Biology. Math and Global were challenging and more complex than I thought. The Global exam took me the whole period to complete. A whole two hour; nonetheless this took the most prep by far. I had to learn 21 terms, memorise a paragraph response and finally write an outline for a five paragraph essay. But, I feel like I crushed it and hopefully the grade will reflect that. Before the exams I would have studied more; however, I did study seven hours on the weekend. It was not enough for some classes. But, it is too late now, it's in the past and doesn’t matter. This was a long week and I am happy that it is over, now we get to take a long and relaxing holiday break.
