The hardest part of this exam was to apply the concepts/ knowledge learned during the semesters and use them to answer clinically based scenarios. During the semesters, we are thought the material in bit and pieces, but in order to effectively perform on this test it is important to put all the concepts learned together. This test was very abstract in about 75% of the questions and concrete in about 25% of this test. This exam required clinical thinking, sequencing of practice guidelines, and overall medical normative values. While studying for the PEAT 1, I over looked the little details and skipped onto the bigger more concrete concepts such as definitions, anatomy, etc. instead of understanding concepts as a whole. However, what I found …show more content…
I would start on the musculoskeletal section, take notes and try to cram/ understand as many concepts as possible then during my next study section I switch to the neuromuscular section of the practice booklet. I started to do this because I was so nervous and did not think I would be able to learn all the information in a short amount of time. I tried to do a little bit of everything which in returned resulted in a low score. I failed to follow my usually study plan which I mentioned in my pervious study plan assignment. I felt that I just didn't not have enough time and began to panic as date to take the PEAT got closer. The lesson learned on the my first attempt of the PEAT exam is to relax and try to do a little bit at a time. I learned that rushing as many sections as possible results in a low retention of the important information/concepts necessary for my success on this test. I scored very poorly on each subsection because I chose to skim the book and study the things that I thought would be “important” as a result of a short study time frame.I also learned that it is imperative to read every question and answer choice carefully. I made a lot of mistakes by choosing questions quickly instead of taking my time to read the question slowly and think of why an answer was more correct than the
Overall, these test were very interesting and it made me really think of my results and why I got it. I thought this was a really cool experience and even though it gave me a headache it is definitely something to learn
My best advice to you is to use these practice tests to learn exactly what to expect on each section of the exam. Learn the method of how each section is to be taken and how they are scored. Most of all take these practice exams repeatedly until it is second nature
... on each section of the exam when you go in to test. Work on determining what method of answering is best for you. I’ll say once again. Take these practice exams repeatedly until it is second nature and yes…..then take them some more.
In this reflective analysis of NAEYC Standard three, Observing, Documenting, and Assessing to Support Young Children and Families, I will first reflect on my growth, as an early childhood professional, during my course of study. Secondly, I will address my strengths related to the standard and discuss areas in need of further professional development. Finally, I will outline my goals for future growth and development. Early childhood educators demonstrate professional competence by understanding the role of assessment and the various methods of assessing student learning, including observation, documentation and standardized testing. These assessment strategies, along with partnerships with parents, can support students in their development and growth, by informing instruction and evaluating instructional practices.
My understanding of kinesiology prior to enrolling in the course, is that I knew kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement , and that it involved sports and exercise and physical activity.I 'm interested in kinesiology , because I love anything that has to do with sports, and to get more of a detailed report on how human movement plays such a big role in the sports world.I have played sports for most of my life my interests our football, basketball,baseball.I started football my eighth grade year, and continued to play threw high school, until I tore my meniscus and mcl so I skipped my junior year of football , and came back my senior year had a really great season started at right offensive tackle.Missing my junior year in football really took a toll on me ,I could have gained so much more experience playing if so. I 've played basketball probably since the third grade , and continued to play threw high school even threw my knee injury ,I played travel basketball as well a
It was not much different that the comments from this test. I am a hands on type of learner, and the subject needs to be interesting to me to stay on task. It also says that I can tolerate high levels of stress and sometimes do my work at the last minute. Hands on learning has always been easier for my but I can still can learn cognitively. I do tolerate stress easily and am able to manage my studies well. I try to get my work done early so I don’t agree with the idea that I do my work at the last minute (Humanmetrics,
I ripped open the SAT test booklet as the elderly women creaked “Okay, you may start now.” This was thee single thing I had to ace. I completely bombed the writing section on my first attempt, there was no way I was going down that route again. Part of the reason why I absolutely hate standardized tests is because the time constraints in no way, shape or form coincide with my writing style. One look at the question and I blanked. This in no way was a topic I could even mutter a sentence about. I sat there as time sped by and contemplated just making up random stories yet, I could not piece any of them together in my head. Brain lapse, brain fart, whatever you want to call it, I had it. In the end, I barely mustered to write a paragraph then walked away knowing I had again, failed the writing section.
The test taking lessons have helped me learn more about having good strategies for a test. I feel that with these lessons learned I can have more confidence to take a test and pass it. In this report I want to show why test taking is an important skill to learn. I also wanted to describe how I have prepared for test in the past. I also wanted to discuss three strategies I have learned from the computer tutorial in class and how I have changed my study habits so I can do better on test.
We had less than a week to boot camp for the exam, whereas for my other AP classes we spent nearly a month on preparing. I knew we were preparing for the exam slowly throughout the course by reading and writing papers, but for some reason, I hadn’t felt as if I was prepared enough. After taking several multiple-choice practice exams in class and at home, my score was barely improving. Even though I studied the vocabulary of the test a few days before, I wish we would have learned in it in class because I didn’t understand some of the contexts behind the vocabulary words and how they would be used. In addition, a mock exam was planned but never happened, which would have been very useful because the time constraints are very strict on the test. As for the real exam, I’m not confident in my performance, and I am hoping for a
This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.
The test looked like something I've taken before, but I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. There were vocabulary, reading, and grammar sections. I sped through the vocabulary and wondered what sort of a person would miss these words like disgruntlement and abyss. Surely I would pass this section. Grammer has never been my strong point so when I got to this section I was basically
The first time I took it I had rushed through it. Therefore, I did not pass the writing, math, and reading sections that I needed by ten points. My second try was more successful but not quite fully. I took all of the sections once again and was nervous that I would fail since I kept thinking back to the first time I took those sections. The results lifted up my mood. I had passed the math and reading sections. Unfortunately, I had gotten a four on my writing once again. I needed a five in order to pass the section. I decided to give it one more try before I gave up. I studied harder than I had with the other sections since I had difficulties with writing. The following week I showed up to only take the writing section. I was overwhelmed with stress and sleep deprivation, but I wanted to get into MSA. Therefore, I stayed there and gave it a third try. I was asked to write about Mongols. To my advantage, my world history class was going over Asia. When I finished the section, I held my breath until I submitted the test. I did not dare to look at my grade on the computer screen until I saw it on paper. When the supervisor handed me the paper, a smile spread across my
The GSIRC highly encourage hands on experience for student interns. In order to have a sympathetic notion on what to do as an intern, the PEES courses taken previous semesters were remarkably accommodating when assisting the clients through rehabilitating workouts. In order to understand which anatomical part the patient is rehabilitating, anatomy and physiology were one of the vital subjects to be acquainted with. Having the understanding of the anatomy terms helped me, as an intern, to understand majority of the diagnosis shown on the patients’ charts. As the patients goes through their exercises it were also essential to understand the movements of each exercise such as abduction with external rotation or knee flexion. The course that corre...
This was particularly noticeable in my mock ospe reflection whereby I picked up on the fact that nerves play a large part in the end result of an exam, however, this highlighted the importance of preparation and practice towards the final exam in order to build my confidence in key areas of improvement in my handling skills. This process of action planning was particularly motivating and prompted me to tackle my weaknesses head on. It became apparent throughout my work, that I lacked the required practical and academic skills relating to equine as opposed to other animals, particularly in both the mock ospe whereby although I passed the equine subsection, there was a lot more to improve on than the canine aspect. This was similar for the nutrition assignment whereby our overall grade was affected due to having less background knowledge in horse feeds and using internet sources rather than journals. In order to improve in the weaknesses found between these reflections, I plan to undertake more equine based work experience in order to improve my handling skills whilst paying special attention to the BHS standards, I also aim to take time to further read around my subjects in more depth whilst using a variety of sources including books and
For the most part, I believe that my learning profile and my scores on the questionnaires did reflect on my studying strategies and techniques. As described in lecture, there are two types of goal-orientation theories, mastery and performance orientation, and through examining my learning profile and the scores and results of the questionnaires, I believe that it is evident that my studying techniques and strategies reflect more of the mastery approach goal-orientation theory. This also has an impact on my mastery approach score; I tend to go after the tasks that I desire to accomplish, while striving for mastering and understanding the tasks. However, as I was studying, my light of focus shifted more towards the larger concepts of the chapters,
