How were the students feeling
around midterm exam time?

  Here are some excerpts from students' daily journals...

   7 am...The scribbles on the back of the daily journal denote a test study schedule...       
What's this? There are some comments about the test                
The sentence, "This is the first time I have worked so hard" seems to express a sort of satisfaction.         
Using this new school year as motivation, I'm going to change myself. When I was watching, and it seems like everyone else is trying harder, too.
                  
A brighter me! I'm going to improve my competence!                
I'm going to make more friends! I want to express myself more!         
Humans are amazing when they set their minds to something. After a few months of focusing on my goals, I wonder how much progress I'll make.               
Even if I don't see definite results, I will know that I have the ability to persevere. In the long run, this realization will develop my confidence.  
                

 

   I studied from 8:30 to 12:00 today! With only 4 more days until the exam, am I going to be ready???I finished my science and PE workbooks and studied for technology class. I have to work harder because I don't understand PE...5 subjects alone are so much work....plus 4 more...ahhhh...I have to keep going. I'm going to raise my score at least one point higher than the last time.                                    
      
 When I try studying for exams, I end up falling asleep. When I woke up, it was 4 o'clock...as I approach my desk to study, I get sleepy. But when I'm doing something else, I'm wide awake. I guess I hate studying, afterall.                         

  I studied science today. Since I only have 5 more days until the exam, I motivated myself to study. Today, yesterday, and probably tomorrow...the rain continues... It's so hot and humid, that I get tired trying to study.                                          

  Today, as I did my workbook to study for exams, I realized how much I don't remember. I always get sleepy and fall asleep. So from now on, I'm going to get my studying done before I get sleepy. I was suprised when I realized that there's only 3 more days days. I'm determined to keep trying hard.

   I had cram school today, so I couldn't do too much studying for tests. I studied math in cram shool but I didn't understand any of it. It's getting difficult and my head is full of confusion.                                        

  Today, club sports ended. For some reason, when club sports end it really feels like it's test time. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to study and work hard. I really hate when I have to focus only on studying.. I wish tests were already over. Starting today, I have to get fired up about studying for tests! Go, go, go!!                                 

  The tests are rapidly approaching. I've done a lot of my workbook and notebook, but is this enough to prepare me for the test?                          

  Today, the teachers told us the scope of the tests. It's not too much material, so I'm going to study hard. Before, I hated science and social studies, but recently I'm doing better in class.                        

  I had cram school until late tonight. I was 30 minutes late to cram school because of club sports, but I stayed late to finish the parts that I had missed. We also had a test today. While I was riding my bike home in the rain, I realized that it was already 9pm. Test time is approaching and I will keep studying hard.

  Today, in cram school, we learned how to find the values of the x and y variables by adding slope equations. But, I had trouble understanding it. This is not good! i thought I'd ask my dad about it when I got home, but he wasn't home. I asked my mom instead. When I relaxed and took my time, I was able to solve the problems. The problem is staying relaxed during the test, but I'm going to work hard so that I can feel comfortable with the material.
                 

  Today, I studied for tests for 5 hours. I always cram the night before the exam, but that just isn't good enough in order to reach the goal I set for class ranking.                  

   Starting today, the hell of really studying for tests has begun. Just the thought of 9 subjects makes me lose my motivation to study. But, I can't escape. I want it to end soon so that I can have fun. I don't want to go through the same experiences that followed the last test period, so I'm going to work hard.     

   Tomorrow marks 3 days before the tests. Ahhhh...what agony! I really have to buckle down now. I have to work hard so that I don't have any regrets. I learned the scope of other tests today. I have to study hard, because I can't do poorly this time.

Today, when I got home, I studied in my English workbook.. I worked hard so that I could finish it up today. I did a little bit more at night and I'm finally done with my workbook.. I'm going to try to finish the workbooks for my other classes starting tomorrow.                                   


  Today, Mr./Ms ---- explained the rest of thematerial and I get the feeling that I understand.
