3rd test reflections

Today we went over our last test on population and immigration. We did the same that always do, which is everyone reads a question and gives the answer to one or more questions so we can discuss the answer. I read question 11, which was how many people in the world do not have electricty (1,201,000,000)? I got a 97 because I got a 95 on the actual test part and then I got two points for an extra credit question. This test is the best test score I've gotten this year. The other ones were 90 and 93. I got the entire first page right and that makes sense because I found it very easy and wasn't surprised that I got them all right. I am actually a little mad about the two questions that I got wrong because they were very easy questions that I should have gotten right. For the life expectancy one I put the US instead of Monaco, which doesn't make any sense because I remember learning that Monaco has a lot of old people. The other question I got wrong was the one about what pyramid represents a country's population doubling in 35 years. I put pyramid C and it was pyramid A. When I saw the right answers it was really frustrating because I know exactly why I got these questions wrong. It wasn't because I'm not smart or I didn't know the answer, its because I didn't take my time and think about what the question is asking. My brain also sort of forgets really easy things that pop up on tests, which is annoying because I know the answer but I either can't think of it or forget that the question is pretty much answering itself. I have established that I'm not a very good test taker and that sucks because I am smart and I know everything, it just doesn't show on tests.
