Mr. Still Hurry Up With the Exam Grades!!

Test taking has not always been a good skill that I acquire. Today I realized that I actually had the skill of taking a test and I actually felt good about it after I took Major Exam # 1. The major exam today in reading was actually pretty easy. I actually thought the exam was going to be way harder because Mr. Still made it seem like it was going to be hard. Studying has always been something I have not been good at. In high school I would tend to study as I was walking into the class and I would still pass the test because the review was just like it. In college I have realized that it is a whole other ball game. So last night I finally told myself “taylor you need to study, it is worth it.” So to prepare for this major exam I turned my phone on do not disturb and I studied. Turning my phone on do not disturb was really helpful because it did not distract me. Honestly I feel like I did really well on this test and there is nothing I would do different to prepare for another exam. The most difficult thing about this exam was relating critical thinking to recognizing bias. I did not know how to put it into words or really how to connect them together. The easiest thing about this exam though was the vocabulary. When it comes to words I just use context clues to figure out the definition and it becomes really easy. If a youngster was to come up to me and ask “how are Mr. Still’s short answer/ essay test?”, I would simply tell them they are easy if you study and to follow the instructions because some can be very tricky. The night before a test I like to sit in a hot bath and watch netflix. It helps my mind just relax and not worry about anything. After a test, if I do not have work, I like to simply come home and take the best nap possible. After all I think I did really well on the exam and I cannot wait to see my results.
