Science Test Reflection (Term 3)

In this test, we are tested on Ecology, part of biology and Optics, part of Physics. That's all simple. It was quite simple for me, however Optics really worry me as I am not very good in physics, which can be seen in how I fared in Term 2.

I decided to focus more on optics as I understand my Ecology well. I tried to memorize the numerous properties of different optic lenses. Then, the difficult part was the application of it on real life objects. Also, I used those old worksheet to practice on how to draw the lens as I did not want to take too much time drawing the light rays, which had caused my downfall in the Term 2 test.

For ecology, I forced myself to read the numerous notes. I also did some practice paper to test myself. It was quite easy, however I knew that I cannot underestimate what will pop out in the test. Even after finishing the paper, I forced myself to memorize all the definitions as we are not allowed to refer to notes in a test.

During the test, I headed into the paper without much difficulty, maybe due to my rigorous attempt to study. After 25 minutes, I finished the paper. I used the remaining time to check my paper so as to prevent me from making careless mistakes like what had happened during the last 2 terms.

After the paper, after much discussions with my friends, I realized that I did not make any mistakes in the questions being discussed. However, I was still afraid as my optic is not strong. I prayed for the best, hoping that I would score an A1.

After 2 weeks of nervous waiting, the papers are being given out one by one. I was surprised when I received my papers, I had scored 36/50. What a surprised! I had never scored this well since Primary 6. My efforts paid off. However, after going through the paper, I realized I had made some careless mistakes but not as much as the last term. I could have gotten 39/40--- higher than the highest in class. Although I was not the highest, I was still please with myself for obtaining such a mark. However, I will NOT be complacent and will work my very best for the EOYs.

Science Test Reflection (Term 2 + Retest)

For the actual test... I do not really want to talk about it as I did very badly. However as it is a requirement in this Science E portfolio, I have not choice but to talk about it. In this test I scored 20.5/40. Very Very bad for my standard I would say. In this test I was tested on Light Physics(my worst of the 3 sciences). Honestly, I do not have any interest in Physics as I thought that it is really boring. When I have doubt I would not ask the teacher as I was too lazy to ask. In this test, I took too much time drawing the ray diagrams and doing the MCQs that I did not complete the paper, resulting in the lost of marks. In this test, many of my classmates had gotten A1, thus I was the bottom of the bottom in my class.

Luckily, Miss Lim was kind enough to give us a retest for those who did not receive a B3. In the retest, I did quite well for someone who did not like physic. I had gotten an A1. All that I had studied paid off, but the test is capped at B3. I should really have study for the first test and gotten a A1. Oh and in this test I had gotten 32/40, an A1.

Science Test Reflection (Term 1)

In this science test, I scored 30 out of 40. Although it is a A1, I am very disappointed in myself as I was below average in my class and was a boarder line A1. In this test, I was tested on Acid and Bases, which is a topic in chemistry. After this test, I felt that I am very weak in Chemistry as I do not understand much about it. In this test, I was a little careless as I did not read the question properly, resulting in the lost of 2 marks. More importantly, during the day before the test, I did not have much time, studying for the test as I had CCA which ended at 6.00pm. With the lack of studying, it was obvious that I would not do well for my test.

From that day onward, I will study harder and try my best not to make careless mistakes anymore. I will also study a few days before the test in case there is CCA before the test.
