Maybe it was because this was the first exam I've taken this year and I was nervous, or because I suck at taking tests, but I thought this past Listening test was... difficult. I studied the material too! I had a very efficient study sheet, with basically everything that was in my notebook- anything you could possibly want to know about listening, and I still felt unprepared when I got that test. I think the hardest for me was the fill in the blank's. Personally, I'm not a fan of them, because you need to know definitions completely word for word, rather than just the overall concept and idea. So they are overly confusing and not helpful to me. I think that was my worst section of the test. The multiple choice and T/F were very explicit and self explanatory which was great, and even the short answers were fine because you get to talk out your ideas on the paper and it doesn't need to be an exact text book answer. Honestly the only problem I had was with the fill in the blanks.
I probably could have studied a bit more, but now I know. I didn't study word for word definitions, but more like the general concepts and ideas. I'll work on that. Overall, the test was fine. I just really don't like tests to begin with, so my answer might be a bit bias.

I hate tests too!! There the worst. Fill in the blanks I feel like are hard on any test. It really involves a person to know definitions by heart!
ReplyDeleteI thought the test was pretty difficult too and I also studied the material. I suck at taking test too, I like freeze up even though I study for them.
ReplyDeleteI hate tests! I definitely agree with you also!
ReplyDeleteI dislike fill in the blank sections on tests and the answer to the first question on our exam was ‘listening’ and it wasn’t even in the word bank. I wasn’t sure if that was a trick or just a mistake but I figured the test wasn’t going to be a piece of cake after that.
