MidTerms

It's almost 2014 already! Woohoo! But, with the New Year also comes a time of reflection for students on the first semester of the school year. I've been thinking about my grades, how efficient I've been working, ways in which I could improve as a student, and of course how my midterms went! Midterms are exams that happen in the five core classes (Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Spanish) right before Christmas break. They test your knowledge of all the material covered in the first semester of the year. Both seventh and eighth grade had all five exams this year while sixth grade had none. We had a new exam each day and the exams were an hour and a half with an hour of independent study time before hand. The eighth graders got to go home at noon when there exams were finished to study for the following tests. These tests factor into our overall grade greatly and are extremely stressful. Thankfully, though, in every class we received a study guide to answer the week beforehand which would help us complete the test. Never the less, I will admit that the exams were tough! Each exam had a new set of challenges but I was well prepared for them. By Tuesday of exam week it felt like midterms would never end but I pushed through along with my fellow students and remained confident in myself.  For the eighth graders, most of the exam grades have already been posted. How well did you do?
