Reflection on the Practice Exam
Although the entire practice test was good, there are a few things that I would wish they were modified. First, the time allotted for the test was not enough. Some questions took more time to answer, and I almost ran out of time when finishing the last questions. I will be happier if 15 minutes are added to ensure that examinees have enough time. Additionally, when it comes to the format of questions, nothing should be changed. I liked how the questions appeared, and it was easy to read and answer them.
I got an average score for the practice test. By considering the national certification exam, I realized that I need to improve to get the best score in the final exam. However, before I state things that I need to improve, the following is a list of my strengths:
I read questions faster.
I remember concepts that I have read within a short period.
I finished the test questions.
I prioritize easy questions first to get more time for the difficult ones.
Despite the above strengths, I need to improve on the following things:
I should read more materials beyond what is provided in the course syllabus (Allen, 2020).
I should come up with effective tactics to help me remember various concepts.
I need to do more tests to get used to thinking faster in a high-pressure environment.
I should avoid being moody during the exam.
