my expectations on my first exam at blinn

 At the risk of this being read negative, my expectations of my exam were not that promising. I am not good at exams. To be honest I am very nervous when I take any kind of test. You know the saying “I have butterflies in my stomach”? Well when I take a test I think those sweet butterflies have hand grenades. I find myself taking deep breaths the whole time the exam is going on. As you are reading this you might be wondering if the exam met my expectations. Well I was nervous just as I expected. And in all honesty there were questions on the test that I expected. However when I take a test there always seems to be questions that I don’t remember studying for. When I was writing my answers on the test I felt I was going to explain the wrong answer. Don’t get me wrong I studied and prepared for this test. I went over my notes from class at least five times. I also read the chapters again. I feel like I did not do that well on the exam. So next time I will switch it up by looking over my notes ten times instead of five. My study skills are not the greatest. But I have a great attitude and I am going to keep moving forward. When I take exams it’s always a challenge for me whether I pass or not. I usually don’t do writing tests that often, and in reality I would prefer multiple choice questions. But hey it’s a writing class what can you do? Here’s a good tip if you go by any of the statues on A&M campus and place a penny on it, it will bring you good luck on any exams or tests in the future.

  1. Callan, Love this: "Those sweet butterflies have hand grenades." Did you get that from someone -maybe a song lyric- or did you come up with that on your own? Good stuff.

  5. Hey Callan,
    I'm not good with exams neither but is good that you want to prepare more for your next exam.
