pov: failing mock final for math
by Helena_Liang, Dec 9, 2023, 1:55 AM
(actually failing)
we had 40 multiple choice questions for 1 hr
parts of the laughable mistakes I made (forgot some)
1. read "diameter" as "radius"
2. read "cotangent" as "tangent"
3. thought x^(a/b) is x^b in bth root :skull:
4. wrote horizontal asymptote as x=2 :skull: the answer was y=2
5. thought 4pi/4 is 2pi...
6. severely ran out of time - and time is going to be my biggest problem there
I took ~37-38 mins for part 1 (the part with calculator) because I checked that portion and did fine, but for the non-calculator part, I had roughly 22-23 mins and yes I failed :skull:
GOOD NEWS: I DID NOT MESS UP ANY TRUE/FALSE FINALLY
overall, the test was really easy (at least easier than the tests over the school year), and the mistakes I made should be solved if I did the problems faster because I had no understanding problems
I was really scared during the non-calc part and messed up way too much (I had to speedrun like 5 problems in the last 3 minutes - and surprisingly I got none of the problems I speedran wrong)
I'll probably review more on slant asymptotes
and do every single test from sem 1 over again (our teacher printed out the entire packet of sem 1 blank tests and gave them to us...must have been a huge usage of paper)
but yeah I think I'll get above 90 on my last test (trig identities) but I really need an A+ on that test to actually make my grade better :sob: and rn I know for sure I'll get at least 4 points off :sob:
so I might need an A+ on the final, which is literally on a monday and I have only two weekends + a school week to review :sob:
