TEST FEAR
Some students don't want to have test because they don't want to read and review their lessons. They just rely on their classmates. When I knew that the periodical test test would be on August 14 and 15, I felt uneasy and nervous because I was not yet prepared. My mind was not prepared enough to take a test. I don't even have my notes in some subjects so, I borrowed the notebooks and books of my classmates so that I can have it photocopied. At first, I didn't know what subject will I review first. But then, I balanced my time by making my time table. We had our test in Advanced Chemistry and Research earlier than the scheduled day of the test because these subjects were not included in the set of tests. Before the periodical test, we should pass our projects but I didn't begin yet making them. One day, we even went home late in the evening because we rushed our projects just to past it on time. But when I knew that the test was postponed, I felt great because I was not able to review my notes well. I will have more and enough time to review.We had the first part of our test last August 19. I thought our tests were very hard. When I finished taking the test on the first day, I realized that it was not that difficult to answer. it was not difficult as what I expected. Then, the second day of our test was postponed again on the 23rd day of August because of the typhoon "Karen". I was disappointed because I've already reviewed my notes. Finally, we've already had the test. After the test, I felt comfortable and successful because I was able to answer all the questions.
I thought I can relax already but then the National Career Assessment Examination(NCAE)is not yet over. I have to prepare myself again for another set of tests. before the NCAE, we had first our dry run on how to fill up the test paper. during the NCAE, we started answering the test at 8:00 a.m because our testing room was still locked at that time and because of that, we have to transfer to another room. The test was not that hard for I finished answering it for almost 4 hours only. I think I was the 3rd one in our room who finished answering the exam and I went out of the testing room at about 12:00 noon. Finally, I can relax And have my rest now!!!
