The Final Test

everything we had been taught during the year. The whole of my class had to sit this test and we were graded and listed best to worst according to our marks, it also gave our teacher a guide for a prediction of our final grade. I was put under a lot of pressure by my peers and my teacher as I was deemed the best in the class and was expected to gain nearly full marks. However, this wasn’t the case, I did study hard for the test but something wasn’t quite right on the day as I became very…

the next day, but it won’t help you in the long term. So, if you crammed for a midterm and let’s say the final is cumulative. So, the same material will be in the final. In this case, you either have to cram the same material again, which would be a waste of time, or you can either be smart and space your study throughout the semester and have a better recall not just for the cumulative final exam but also in longer term. Thus, it is important to provide this evidence to the many students who…

work is reviewed based on the amount of growth over a period of time as related to the NC Essential Standards. This eliminates most instances of inequality because students are not required to pass a one-time test to prove they learned something. Real life is not based on a one-time test. Real life rarely is pass or fail; it is based on a model of growth and improvement. If we establish a culture of accountability based on growth, our students and teachers can learn to trust in their own…

Curriculum and Instruction Variables: 1. This classroom is quite small, containing a smart board and a white board. There were a few inspirational posters that displayed quotes from people such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and Amelia Earhart.

Since this is an upper school science classroom, there are several textbooks in the room covering…

homework and tests, and my teachers always told me I could do better. It was not till one day that was towards the last week of my senior year where I realized I should 've been giving a hundred percent towards my school work.

Should one test determine a child’s future? Many children who pass all of the courses and have a average or above average GPA fail their grade. How could this happen? If a child spends 3-4 hours on homework a day, study whenever needed and completes all assignments with passing grades, be retained to their current grade based on a 100 question examination at the end of the year or semester? This has been something many parents are not concerned with, parent feel most of the time maybe the…

homework as something important shows that he can’t be trusted to do because of his lack of interest. Donny is too prideful of how his peers see him get over this unliked activity. Secondly, his teachers don't trust him to listen in school and study for test telling Donny in class “ ‘Hadn’t you better be listening instead of talking?’ ‘That’s okay, Miss Evans, he says.

Many people approach tests in many different ways. For instance, there are people who are relaxed and have confidence in themselves. While in the other hand, the other people are nervous and stressed on what is going to be on the test or even just the score they will earn.

In addition, I always say to myself “If I pass I pass if I fail well then try again”. My…
