III. Check the strategies you need to implement for improvement:

Need to complete more practice problems
Need to study notes better
Need to study text better
Need to study other materialshandouts, formulas, study guides, etc.
Need to complete a practice test
Did not understand the material
Did not study the right material
Did not implement effective time-management skills
Before the test
During the test
Need to control my anxiety during the test

IV. Discuss your pre-test process (that is, did you go to every class, did you take
notes effectively, did you have a study plan, etc.). Discuss the strategies
you used during the test (that is, did you preview the test before starting,
did you do a memory dump, did you check your answers, etc.). Discuss
what you did after the test (that is, did you analyze your errors, did you
analyze the structure of the test, etc.). Include the discussion of your
instructor or TA office hour visit. Your response must be at least one page,
typed, double spaced (one-inch margins; only your name in the heading;
Times New Roman 12 pt, Arial 10 pt or similar font size).
Before this quiz, I did go to class every day, however, because we
were allowed to use computers, I found myself getting distracted
and not paying attention. Then I would have to cram and create a
study guide from scratch basically because I did not have in depth
notes. We didnt have a study guide we were told that anything
was fair game for the quiz. After the test, I did look at my answers
and used that to help me study for the final exam.

I could not discuss this with my teacher, because this test was from
last semester since I have no tests this semester and most of my
classes are writing classes.
