Unfortunately, the FCAT does not evaluate student’s performance correctly due to students that fall under pressure. The pressure that student’s feel and encounter is also known as test anxiety. According to Channel 7 reporter Erica Rakow’s in the article “FCAT Stresses Students Out, she claims” The responsibility of passing both reading and math portion of the FCAT in 10 grade adds a stressful ambiance to students who really do not want to retake it as a junior (par.2). Rakow also points out “That responsibility includes promotions to the next grade, and future funding for their school. Some students get so worked up about the test they can’t even get through it (par.3).
A. Strategy # 3 : Visualize success My specific actions: When I visualize success, I will be able to encourage myself. Then my brain won’t be full of thoughts I can collect my thoughts and solve the problem, or answer the question. B. Strategy # 6 : Write memory cues on the test My specific actions: In my math class I will write equations and words that will cue information that is triggered by the cue.
Greg, on the other hand, was having serious academic problems at school and consequently couldn’t do what he most wanted: play in the basketball team. Actions are preceded by a series of events. Greg’s bad grades precluded him from playing with the basketball team and Mike’s moustache caused his grandmother to confuse him with his grandfather. The conditions of Mike from “The Moustache” and Greg from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” influence them when they faced the main problem. So, the next time you take a decision, be sure it’s
Which made me wonder if he was "getting it" I realized I had begun to explain it a little to mathematically, I had taken it away from the fun Jessica Watson and gone in to the usual way of teaching maths . When I took it back to the factors that effected Jessica, and why she may not have always had the same amount of travel each day the interest was ignited. One of the children commented that they couldn't believe that all this fun maths was in the paper. That to me was priceless to see that they were using skills they already had and applying it in a way that was opening up their understanding to the
Every ones talking about cranky teens when in reality we are just over stressed and not getting enough sleep. These days it seems like teachers are having competitions with each other to see who can give the most homework therefore; students are having a hard time doing extracurricular activities and balancing homework all in one night. All of these issues have one cause to blame and that my friend is homework. And that is why as students, we believe that homework should be abolished. Life of a student is a very stressful one, as you drag yourself to school around 7:40 you desperately try to find friends that have completed a large sum of the mound of homework we were given the day before.
It has been a misconception that reading a text book is the best way to learn a subject. Sure lots of knowledge can be gained by reading a text book but sometimes experimenting and implementing your own thoughts can speed up the learning process. “Einstein believed that even though you should be literate and educate yourself, you should still take time to experiment and have independent thought. He felt that only learning by what was in a book would lead to not having any new thoughts or ideas” (qtd. in WikiAnswers.com) I am a computer science major and have to deal with logical statements a lot.
I went in, and had todo cognitive testing: an IQ test, a reading test, and a slew of other things that I was just lost in. I felt an unbearable sensation of anxiousness growing with every new task we started. All I could think of was testing and wanting to get out. I questioned why I was even going through all of this effort. Every time I walked out for a break, the tension was eased, and I reminded myself why I was there.
The one place where you are independent and working towards a degree to qualify for better employment. But I always wonder if my academic struggles can come back to haunt me. During my senior year in high school, I was not able to take a math class because I already had enough math credits to graduate. So throughout the year, my math skills were becoming more vague than crystal clear. On the CUNY Math Assessment Test, my results came and they were horrible.
The Political Science program even helped me succeed in my schools AP course because it prepared me for future topics that I would eventually learn and most importantly the AP exam. Throughout the year I kept completing all the intricate assignments and by doing so I feel that challenging myself has benefited me for the future that awaits me. Before AP History I felt unaccomplished and that school was too easy. I used to complete my assignments and feel spiritless. The course made me realize that college wouldn't be cinch.
High school students nationwide are expected to take the widely despised SAT. The SAT is supposed to show the value of a student’s knowledge, but they fail miserably. A solid GPA says a lot more than one test. Something should be done. The SAT has caused much stress through the years, and for a useless purpose.
