Tests. Examinations. Whatever we may call them, for me, they only mean the same, and I have but one word to describe these things- CALVARY. I really hate to memorize but because of the First Periodical Test, I learned to get used of reviewing my lessons to be ready in answering questions that might show-up during the exams. I admit that I am a talkative person, so another good thing that I consider a learning j talking to no one while taking the tests, because our adviser was more strict in observing us that time compared to our regular classes. And I'm proud of telling everyone that I was able to think, even without talking. unlike the Periodical Test, I did not give that much importance to the NCAE, because I found out the objective of this and that it will not affect my grades. however, I still had my learnings from the NCAE. One of these is that, while going on with the test, I found out my strengths and weaknesses in the different fields of education.
During these times, I felt uncomfortable thinking that there is something bothering me. Whenever I tried to read my notes, I always fall asleep. And when I woke up, I would fine my notebooks beside me, or sometimes, on the floor (they might had fallen from my bed). Another problem was when I had my PT in the afternoon, I went to school late. Good for me, they did not yet start taking the exam when I reached the room. During the NCAE, my problem was, the examiner in the other room talked loudly and I easily heard his voice because I was seated near the window.

"Relax". I just said to myself. Because if I let my problems disturd my confidence, it might have ruined my grades. I tried my best not to talk to anyone during the duration of the examinations, and so it worked. For the examiner in the other room, I just ignored his loud voice and go on with the test. But the best proof that I was able to overcome my problems is the result of my examinations.
We had just finished First Grading Period, not the Fourth. So I still have much time to further improve my strengths and weaknesses. Talking has been my nature, but as I go on, I wish I will find out the proper way of using, this gift? I'll be more serious in taking exams. And find time to memorize (eventhough I really hate doing it).
