Surprise tests by teachers! Anticipate them!

Yesterday was the perfect day for me until I walked into first period Chemistry. The first thing the teacher tells me to do is to take a test from the back of the room. At first I was puzzled to the thought of taking a test in a classroom for thirty minutes. What was even more puzzling was the fact that I didn't know the answers to some of the questions. Also, I would sit there working out the answer in a very wrong way and coming up with a very wrong answer only to later just guess my way through the test.

For the most part, I understood the concepts that the test was testing me on. By thatI'm not saying that I guessed on the answers and miraculously got every single answer correct. I actually gave up like five minutes of my time every night and read out of the Chemistry book. Even reading a paragraph can help alot on a test.

One thing I didn't understand was the conversions. I have a little bit of difficulty with the conversion concepts. I will perhaps have to read over the lesson that explains conversions.

Remember, I set aside some time to learn Chrmistry. For example, this blog post is written on a bus on my way to a Cross country race down at Ojai, CA.
