Exam Week

My second week of summer class  just ended with the first exam. There were 110 questions in the exam that was  prepared by my human anatomy professor. All questions were carefully selected from 30 pages of class notes.   Students had only 40 minutes to complete the exam.  The kind of exam questions were  multiple choices, true or false, fill-in the blank, and matching.  For me, some questions were  confusing  and complicated. Due to the  limited time I had to skip some  of the difficult questions.  After handing in the exam, I realized that the answers for these questions were not very hard.  However, during the exam, I couldn’t think of the answers  and my mind was blank or empty.  I was angry  with myself for not recognize the answer right away.  Have you ever experienced this issue before?  If you have then you  understand how I felt at that moment.  Today, I am worried that I might have failed the exam. The class test exam grade will not be posted until next Tuesday morning.   I feel that I must learn how to read the questions faster and study hard for the next exams.   Most American students were able to complete their test on time.  My next exams are two weeks away. There will be two exams this time. One is overall or comprehise written exam and other is practical lab exam.  For most premed students, the practical lab exam is the toughest and difficult of all.  Therefore, I must be prepared and studied for these exams by next week.  I will ask my Biology tutor to prepare and make up a lot of the practical questions for me to test out by next weekend.  There will be time limited during the premed practical lab exam. Students have  less than 10 seconds to complete the question; therefore, I will also ask my biology tutor to give me only 5 seconds per question.   If I were not able to complete the question within 5 seconds then I must be study harder to avoid failing the test.  The practical lab exam questions might be select from various topics. All questions can be selected from my human anatomy lab manuals and real life experiences. If questions were to select from the human anatomy lab manual then they will be selecting from five chapters, chapter 17 through chapter 22.  I hope the exam questions are not complicated and long.  If the questions are complicated I will need more time to complete them.  During the exam, time is the one thing that I don’t have a control over.
This is a very short essay because I need to get ready to go to the school.  For the last five day, I had to study for human anatomy daily quizzes and first exam.  Last night, I had to read and complete my MCAT homework which is provided me by my English tutor.  I am very grateful for all her helps.  My English is improving a lot since I study with her.
