CST Testing Reflection

I had the worst testing experience of my life. The only one was okay with was the writing one but I fell asleep because I was sick so I ended up on guessing on a lot of them. The math part was okay. The first half was really easy because I'm pretty good at math but the second half I knew absolutely NOTHING. I missed school for almost 3 months so all of the math on the second half I had no clue how to even start. The history was the same because it was mostly about World War I and I was not in school when that was being taught. I'm glad I'm a sophomore because this test was mostly placement so next year I will make sure to not miss school and keep myself up with work so the tests are easier.

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.
