9th grade

I think everyone thinks that 9th grade was a big year for them no matter where they went to school. 9th grade is the first year grades actually count which may not seem that bad, but this means that literally every grade counts. I have already learned a huge lesson when it comes to test taking this year in Mr. Rice's biology class. On the very first test of the year, the easiest test in his class, in got an 83. I didn't get this because i didn't study but because the skipped a COMPLETE PAGE!!! And the top it off, the page I accidentally skipped was the easiest page on the whole test. This grade did hurt my average badly but I found a way to pull it up to an A. Which isn't bad. Another lesson I learned about tests is I can no longer not study for a test the day of the test. A good example of this is my first two world cultures tests. Also the two easiest tests of the entire course I score an 86 & 84 in that order. After this happened I told myself to try studying in advance for a chance to see what happens. And what do you know I get a 92 followed by a 93 on my next two tests. So far 9th grade has drastically changed my approach to assessments. I used to be even more lazy then I am currently am, yes I know it is hard to believe, and never used to study for anything or did any homework. So far 9th grade, for the most part, has changed me for the better.
