Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

My feelings on the upcoming CSTs are very mixed. I do not like taking them because I feel they are very long and boring but at the same time I feel very prepared. I know good test taking strategies especially with all that we have been learning in our classes. The packets and what the teachers have been saying to me have helped me with getting ready to take the test. I know to manage my time wisely, not be too stressed, really pay attention to the questions and all of the answers, and to check my work over again. Doing the play has helped me in a few ways. When writing a play you have to follow a certain format so now I know to go back and make sure I am following the directions correctly. Also, it has helped me with being patient. I am no longer nervous to take the CSTs because with all that I have been doing I feel fully prepared.
