Reflection: AP Language/Composition Mock Exam
The mock exam was an experience like no other and not really in a good way. I was so nervous going in because I have seen my grades here in class and i was afraid i wouldn't do well there because there is more people there. I expected to completely bomb the exam but i'm surprised i did really well at least on the multiple choice portion. Going in Saturday i was thankful we could sit anywhere in the library to be comfortable because the cold always helps me think so i'm glad i sat next to the windows. I do not have anxiety but i felt a little anxious starting the exam because i didn't feel confident. Once i got started and got going and set a good pace for myself i felt better and my nerves started to calm down. Almost halfway through the multiple choice i started getting a little distracted and i was not as focused and i believe that is why i missed more towards the end o f the exam than i did at the begging of the exam.
If i were to choose which section of the exam i walked out of those doors feeling the most confident about i would have to say the essay portion. My first essay i had a good rhythm writing it, we have been doing that type of essay a lot recently so it was really fresh on my brain, i kept thinking to myself "okay this is how i do this and i need to follow this pattern." I got to the second essay more confident than the first because i felt i had accomplished the first one to the best of my abilities. On the second one i poured everything i had into it not holding anything back and i think i might have gave t to much because on the third essay i was completely dead of how to do it and the motivation and confidence. The second essay was not bad, in fact i think it might have been the best essay i have ever wrote. Now saying that i have seen a pattern in my life were i walk out of a test that i think i bombed and end up killing it and the ones i think i killed i end up bombing so i hope that is not what happened with my essays because i felt really confident in them.
On the multiple choice i had gotten a 69% which i guess meets the expectation. I'm really proud about because i'm so used to getting like 40's and 50's on the multiple choice. I finished all the question a few minutes before time ran out which i think is good because i normally finish a lot sooner than a few minutes before time. That gave me a few minutes to go back make sure i did everything and if i hadn't to check and do them. I missed a lot of the authors purpose type questions and i guess i can really work on digging more into the authors head to get a higher scores. My score was over 50% so im not really wanting to change anything on the means of how i took the test ill just try and work on just the authors purpose type questions to get more of an understanidng to become better at them.
Overall i did really good. I did have a decent nights sleep i didnt have the best breakfast i had leftover pizza and water so it wasnt the best. I dont know if these really affect my performenace to much because i get like 30 minutes of sleep one night and get a 100 on a test but i could also get 6 hours of sleep and also get a 100 so i dont the sleep does anything for my performance. I belive the r3eason i was more focised was becasue i was mentally prepared for the test and my mind was set on the test unlike whe were in class and get suprise test. I cant really mentally prepare myself for it. Overall i did good on the test and im proud of my grade. Lets hope my essay grade was better!!!
