Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a problem when it comes to exams. Over the past year the general trend has been that I do very well during the year, I know all the material really well, and generally have low 90's going into the exams for most subjects. However when it comes to the exam, for some reason I always do poorly, such as low 80's. I go into the exam feeling confident, and I even come out of the exam feeling confident. However when that report card comes I see that due to my unexpected performance on the exam my term mark has dropped a couple percent...and this isn't good.
My school isn't semestered, so I have all my courses all year around, and exams for each in december and june. So it is extremely important that I figure out why I perform so poorly on the exams when I do so well in the term. This is especially important since I'm going into my final year, and I'm in IB meaning I have IB exams in May, exams that will shape my university admissions.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
Thanks so much,
-Jonathan
