Hi CC today I took a geometry test and didn’t finish in time. By the time the period was over I still had 4 unanswered questions. The test itself wasn’t hard, the problem is the questions took alot of time to do (for me). I wasn’t the only one who didn’t finish. Should I do stuff different or was it just the test in general. Any help would be appreciated.
(P.S what is a good way to study for a math test in?)
Were the ones you didn’t answer all at the end, or were they ones you skipped to go back to? If I’m feeling pressed for time, I do all the ones I know how to do / can do quickly first.
The best way to study for a math test is to do tons of practice problems. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to recognize certain patterns and it increases the speed with which you can complete the problems
@bodangles The ones I didn’t get to answer were ones that I skipped because I knew they would take alot of time and I thought I could do the other problems faster.
Hmm, that sucks. Maybe it was just that test. Either way, I hope you find something that works for you.
It might have been the test itself, but a good test should be such that a well-prepared student should be able to reasonably solve all of the problems within the allotted time. For the problems you thought would’ve taken too long, maybe there’s a simpler solution you overlooked.
Talk to your teacher. He/she knows what the test looked like, how long a typical student took to complete it, and your general results on tests.
Ask if he/she can work with you after school on how to approach those Geometry tests.
