Grrrrrrr. A headache, a bruise on the hand you write with, and a bad back. It could only mean one thing: A test.
As as you can see from the title, it was a Maffths test. Oh, Maffths is what we call Maths, by the way. So I went in, and memorised how to work out the surface areas of cylinders, spheres, and cones. I was told to put the book away, as the teacher was handing out the tests. After putting my name at the top, I decided to draw a margin on the paper. While I was doing this, the teacher asked, "Is everyone ready?" "NO," I called out, but I don't think she heard me, as she officially started the test. Everyone started scribbling away, leaving me unprepared at that point. So I picked up the question sheet, and started on the first question. I knew the answer straight off, but my headache slowed me down.
After 3/4 of an hour of pythagoras' theorem, scale factors and trigenometry (or as I call it, Frigginometry), I looked up to see how everyone else was getting on. Most had their heads still down, working hard. And, just out of curiousity mind you, I glanced at the answers of the person next to me. I'm not a cheater, I don't look for answers, I just want to see how tidy their's is and how far they got etc. But she had her answer sheet covered by the question sheet. Which, for some odd reason, put me in an uncomfortable postition.
All in all, I think I did rather well. If I'm lucky, I could get 100%, but there was one question which I'm not altogether fond of. It was a pair of parallel sides, with a rhombus sitting on the lines, and a line from one corner, going diagonally down to the other corner. And we had to prove that the triangles in the rhombus were corresponding. So I went about trying to decide whether it was using the rules of Angle Angle Side, or Side Angle Side, or Side Side Side... In the end I decided it was Angle Angle Side. BUT I'm always wrong in that topic, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if I'm horribly wrong.
The teacher finished the test early as she had underestimated our working speed. When she collected our tests in, we immediately discussed our answers. It turns out that everyone around me had also put Angle Angle Side for that question I've just described. Then another question was discussed. The one about Scale Factors. Now, I just have to say, I'm the best in my class at Scale Factors, so I easily explained the answer. Then everyone around me said they'd got the question wrong.
And so, in conclusion, I just have to say, I'll never go into another test in pain again.
Also, We learn from our mistakes, not from our successes. Unless if I get all the questions right, which is also OK.
