The last chapter in my Spanish class has been all about the preterite tense. It was driving me crazy. For some reason, the verb endings were just not sticking in my head. We had the test on it last Monday. As usual, the test was preceded by a review. While we were doing the review questions, the instructor also graded our worksheets. Well, I made more mistakes on the worksheets than I ever have before. I was also completely teh fail at the review exercises; seriously, I got almost all of them wrong (fortunately, they don't count towards our grades). Needless to say, I was not overflowing with confidence when the test started.
Tonight, we got the tests back. I only got one question wrong and I got all three extra credit questions right (for the first time) for a grand total of 39 out of 37 points. How the heck did that happen?! I couldn't get anything right not ten minutes before the test started. Conversely, there's a girl who sits next to me who nails every question on the review exercises, then scores less than I do on the test every single time. Go fig.
I won't argue with the test results, but it would just be a lot less stressful on me if I knew for certain how my brain was going to behave on any given day.
