Today I am nervous...
I took my first exam for Biology 101 today. The test was suppose to cover chapters one through seven. My studying started on Monday and I completed two chapters a night. I read the book and my notes while also making close to 150 note cards full of scientific material. Last night I stayed up until around two in the morning going through all the chapters one last time to make sure I got all the details. This morning I got up early to start studying again. Needless to say I was ready for whatever this test could throw at me. In class a few people asked their last minute questions while I sat quietly...anticipating the moment when she finally gave out the test. I got my wish. But the moment I got it in my hands I noticed it seemed to be kind of thin. Forty-two questions. Are you kidding me? How can you cover seven chapters of material in forty-two questions? With slight disappointment I began to read the first question. I was soon interrupted by the professor explaining that many of the questions may be confusing and suggested that we should probably read the questions multiple times before choosing an answer. She made the test herself. Why do some professors try to trick you. I know college classes are suppose to make you think but with averages in the fifties would you not think you are tricking us enough. I took my test choosing my answers very carefully. After I was done I returned to the first page. I went back through every question and checked for mistakes once again. I will continue to stress about my grade until next Monday at 11:10. I feel fairly confident about the test but there is still that haunting thought in the back of my mind that I will fall into the range of average. Sad day, but I'm glad this week is over.
