I felt pretty confident going into this test because it followed the freshman physics curriculum, and I had worked with position vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs in calculus last year. I was able to complete the Mastering Physics assignments pretty successfully because I am comfortable with using the equations and switching between the different graphs.
I spent a lot of time working on my content page for this unit, and I think this helped me a lot. I didn't feel like I needed to do excessive studying once I had completed this, so I just read over it a few times to review. I also filled out the majority of the practice packet that you gave us. I found the Dynamic Study Modules very useful and some of the information I learned on that tool was very useful on the test. The team test was beneficial because since I was able to complete this effectively, it made me realize I was prepared and increased my confidence for the test. The test itself was a little bit harder than I expected, mostly because it had more complex problems than the team test did. However, overall I think I did a good job, and I think I will get a good grade, especially with the curve. Other than a few difficult problems, I was able to complete the rest of the test with confidence in my answers, so I left the room satisfied with my efforts.
