mid term exam reflection

My score out of 25 was 18.. I think I did really good on the test. I was very confident.. But on some of the questions I know I could have took more time to answer them and really look into what I was bubbling in. On the seven I missed I mostly was being too quick trying to hurry up and answer. The three things I learned about my test taking skills was that I need to be more calm and just relax.. The second thing I learned was to really think about the question and what it's asking. And the last thing i leanred was to stay focus the whole time and stay in the test taking mode.
