Reflection Term 3 Science Test

This term, I took a science test. Honestly speaking, I am not really happy with my results of 31.5 as I feel that I could have scored higher. This is because I misinterpreted one of the 4 marks question in the paper where I am suppose to describe the trend given but instead, I gave reasons for the trend. Also, I feel that I got this score because I did not revise enough on the topic optics and when I was asked to draw the light rays on the diagram, I drew them wrongly and lost another two marks. In addition, I had a few careless mistakes here and there and thus, got this undesired marks. From the test, I really learnt a lot. Firstly, I learnt that it is very important to read the questions very carefully before answering the question for all the subjects so that unnecessary marks would not be lost. Also, I learnt that it is very important to understand the subjects or topics tested well before going for the test, so that there would not be questions which are surprise to me when I get the test paper as questions can come in many different forms and the most important thing is to understand the concept well and not understand the question we do for practice well. Lastly, I learnt that I should treat every test seriously and check through the paper after completing it so as to minimise careless mistakes as these marks are really wasted if they are lost to careless mistakes. This test serves as a final reminder to me to work hard, and be more careful when doing my end-of-year paper. I will definitely treat this seriously and not repeat these mistakes!
