2. Tests....

So this weekend I realized that tests here a not just a piece of cake exam. I kind of did realize this going into my physical science test. I really did study harder than I have ever before in my life but apparently that didn't really help seeing that I got a terrible score on it. I went to TWO test reviews, TWO tutor sessions, and have read ALL of the chapters, taken notes.... all that jazz. What the heck is that supposed to mean? Should I just not study and see what I get? Because that is what a couple of my friends did and the got above an 80% on the test. Why is it that I work so hard and can never get a good grade on a test? I felt so good about the test while I was taking it also and then once I saw my score, I was in complete shock.
I think that tests at BYU are here to trick you. Especially science tests. This is what made me realize that I really need to figure out a different testing stragety. I feel like the tests here make me really dumb about myself. I really hope I'm not the only one that feels this way. Hopefully other students here are in the same boat as me. Oh well, I guess I will just have to study harder than I have been which is so crazy to say because I really did study as much as I thought I could. I guess that is college tests for ya!
