It was quite a disappointment when I received my third term test results. It did not came so much of a shock because I had expected a certain decline in my performance because I had quite a bad breakdown on the day of the test. It was probably due to a couple of calculation questions on refraction that threw me in a mess because I started to panicked when I was unable to answers those questions. I lost my composure and answered the other in a rush. I felt that I should have been more prepared for the test.
We were tested on refraction, total internal reflection, colours of light and ecology. I faced little problems with colours of light and ecology, but refraction and total internal reflection posed quite a difficulty for me. I was unable to understand some of the questions and my answers were illogical at times. I felt that my biggest problem was the preparation before the test. Refraction and total internal reflection requires clear understanding and constant practice to clearly grasp the subject. I was disappointed in myself for not putting in enough effort in this area. I would make sure that I will come prepared for any test in the future. It will be a final boost towards EOYs and I will give my best to perform well in my EOY.
