STARR Testing

Okay,  so this upcoming week is STAAR testing at my school.  During this time of the school year,  it gets really boring at school because of all the tests we have to take. Sadly, this year I have to take FOUR STAAR tests. Of those for tests, I only have two that are actually eighth grade. They're the science and social studies tests. In fact, I have the science on Wednesday and social studies on Tuesday. The only one that I'm remotely worried about is the science because on the spring mock STAAR test, I we only one question away from being commended, which is really good on the STAAR. My other tests that I have to take this year is the algebra I and English I EOC. Thankfully, I already took my five-hour English test. I think that of all the tests that I'm going to take, the algebra I test is probably going to be the easiest test for me because math is my strongest subject in school. I mean, last year I took the eighth grade STAAR test and only missed two questions. I also got like the best score on the test in my school- seventh and eighth graders combined. This year, I'm just hoping that I get commended on all of my tests. So, wish me luck woke I knock these tests out of the way. Adios my fellow readers!!!

Semester Exams

There's only one time in the year that I absolutely dislike. Semester Exam Week. Those three words are horrible. I'm pretty for sure that everyone doesn't like semester exams. Even the people that don't like doing school work. Either way, semester exam week is dreadful. When we're not taking a test, we're studying for another. It's just study, study, test, study, study, study, test, and study. We do nothing but study. I know that some teachers don't like it. The two days that we have half days are full days for the teachers. The look on my math teacher Ms. Kerby was so funny. Another reason why semester exams suck is that it's about everything that you learn in the whole first semester of school. Nobody remembers that stuff. It's so funny to see people go at the last minute to study for a test. The bad thing, for me, is that I have to actually study. Even I don't remember some of the things that I learned this year. Today, I had my third and seventh period exams. That's science and math for me. They kind of balance each other because I don't like science, but I love math. I was so prepared for the math test, until my Ms. Kerby said that it was extremely hard and the previous period didn't even finish the test. Otherwise, I went from being super prepared for a test that I now felt that I will fail. We started the test today and I can completely agree with Ms. Kerby. We had a little over two hours to do the test. Halfway through the two hours, I was only on question 12. I knew then that there was absolutely no way that I would finish this test today. Tomorrow, I have Texas History and my Newspaper exam. I, specifically, am worried about my Texas History. Even though I practically grew up here, I'm still trying to get the history part down. The test is about the 5 regions of Texas, Native American cultures, Texas Exploration, Spanish Colonization, Mission System, Texas Revolution, and the Civil War. Basically, Texas before 1870. My only hope is that I get a some-what good grade on all exams.
