Ap test Readiness Reflection

I feel that everyone in this class is ready for the AP test even those of us who didn't take the test. The constant essays and reading and poems was literally driving me crazy. I guess its a good thing that I didn't take the test since there was a family issue that had me in Vegas for a good week. I was able to use the time that I didn't have to use to study for the AP test I was able to use the time working on my senior project and working out all the good and the bad ideas I had. In all honestly I am just glad the AP prep is all over and done with.

Thought on how i did on MacBeths essay

I just have to throw out there that I am very excited on how I did on that in class MacBeth essay. I was really nervous on how I was going to do since I seem to always have a hard time writing essays on Shakespeare's work. I was proud of myself to get a 7 on my essay and not going to lie Paul's reaction to me getting a better score on my essay then he did honestly made my day. His frustration almost made me proud because it clearly proves he didn't think I had any idea on what I was writing about.

Perfomance on MacBeth micro exam

Overall I feel I did really well on the exam. I was actually quite surprised, I knew so much more about MacBeth than even I originally thought I did. I didn't have to stare at the question for 5 minutes before I was able to come up with the answer. I am actually quite proud that I was able to comprehend Shakespeare's work because I normally have a difficult time understanding his writing.

Analyzing todays exam

Overall after todays exam I think I did pretty well. Having only 15 seconds to read the multiple choice questions and answer  them was probably the hardest part. I like to have a good amount of time to read the question, comprehend it and then answer it and it is really hard to do that in a matter of 15 seconds. The essay on the other hand was good practice and I think I answered the prompt pretty accurately.
