This week in Math we had our first mid term test. I am very disappointed with the mark I got because I have been studying all week for it. When I was studying I felt way more confident than when I Was doing it on my test. I had to start studying a week before I started studying because I am the type of person to panic on a test and second guess myself. During the multiple choice questions I felt more confident while I was doing it and then when I got my test back I was shocked I did so poorly. On the written answer questions I found the last question the hardest. I have been looking at different ways to study for math last night and hopefully trying new things will help. The most important thing for me is to just do more questions. I have already been doing a lot of math lately but if I want a decent grade in this class I have to do a better job with doing more questions so when the test comes I feel confident not nervous.
A question I found hard this week was a problem in my workbook. The question asked to translate the question y=x2. I found these questions hard because I forgot when units move left it is a positive. I’m used to seeing if unit move to the left then it will become a negative and vice versa. If its translating up then it will always be a positive that won’t change and same with when its translating units down it will be the same.
