Reflection Paper on Preliminary Examinations

I. Strengths

I felt good about the first part and second part of the test because I was able to answer many

of them with ease. It was fun and inspiring because I knew that what I had studied the previous

day had a great impact on my performance despite my score in the test. Also, it felt good

because I knew that I was still able to answer something I knew. Which was vital in keeping

my cool when taking I took the test. Because of this I was able to breathe a sigh of relief when

I was able to find out that my answers in this part of the test was correct.

II. Weaknesses

My weaknesses in the test was my nervousness, this is because in the last few parts of the

test I was nervous because of the time also because I thought that I would not be able to finish

the test within the given time, so I rushed and eventually it resulted with me failing the test.

My nervousness also carried on to when I was answering the questions in the test because I

had a hard time in answering the given items because when ever I would try to answer I thought

that my answer was wrong also because I had forgotten to add other numbers when I was

computing for my answers. As most of my teachers have said that one mistake in computing
and everything else will be affected, this is basically what happened to me which unfortunately

led to me failing the test. Although I failed the test, which may be a setback for me I think of

this as a reminder to never give up. Because I know that I can pass, and I will do everything it

takes to do so. After this I was able to pass the plus points test given to me and my classmates

for us to pass the test which luckily I was able to pass therefore I was able to pass this test.

III. Plan of Action to Improve My Performance

My plan of action to improve my performance is to study even harder and be more

thoughtful of my answers and my solutions as well. I promise to do better because I know I

can and because there is still more time also there are still more tests where I can do better and

improve my performance. This test was a setback for me but despite that I know that this is

just a challenge for me to do better because although I garnered a low score, I was still able to

answer parts of the test and prove that I can answer parts of the test. It just so happened that I

failed to analyze the other questions thoroughly. I hope and pray that I will do better because

I know that I can, and I can do so.

Reflection Paper on Midterms Examinations

I. Strengths

This was one of the tests wherein I felt good about my answers. This is because throughout

the test I was able to find the answers easily, which made me happy knowing that I was able

to find and solver for the answers successfully. It was also satisfying and gratifying to know

that I was able to answer the test easily because I had been studying for the test for over a

week. The lessons that were included in the test were my favorite as I was able to answer the

questions given to us by the teacher and it was fun for me because I was able to recite when

my teacher was asking questions about the lessons which motivated me enough to be able to

answer all the examples given to me by my teacher.

II. Weaknesses

My weakness in the test was that I was too confident in answering the answers that I forgot

to solve some parts and was overthinking about the other items too much. With this I failed the

test, which left me very emotional and was very hard for me to accept. This is because I had

been studying for about a week and was confident that I had put in the work to be able to pass
the test but unfortunately that was not the case. I failed the test simply because I was too

confident and thought that I had answered everything correctly. Once I saw my paper, I did

not know who to blame or even if there was someone to blame, ultimately, I thought to myself

that even if we work hard for things, they never really go our away. This was a very painful

experience for me because I had put in the work and still could not get the job done. Honestly,

I was ashamed of myself at this point because majority of my friends had passed the test which

left me out because I thought it was easy. In all honesty, I am very scared because what if I get

the next lesson, but I still fail the test, what do I do from there? Because of this, I have been

very weary when I am studying the new lessons because what I find it easy and I still fail. I

just want to graduate knowing that I was able to overcome one of the biggest drawbacks in my

life in high school which was Mathematics. I know that this is yet again, another setback but I

believe that I have the capability to bounce back and I will take that opportunity because I

know I can.

III. Plan of Action to Improve My Performance

For me to improve my performance, I will do my best in understanding the final lessons

that will be thought to us by our teacher for Finals. I will take every single opportunity to be

able to learn more about the lesson. This test was a reminder that even if you do your best

things will not go your way. But I will make it go my way as I will study hard and do my best

when taking the test and answering the examples given to me by my teacher and as well as

reciting in class. I hope that this time it will finally go into my favor and that I can graduate

knowing that I was able to overcome one of my biggest fears and drawbacks in high school

which is Mathematics.
