Today in class we had a quiz. The quiz was on the north and central American countries. I believe I got one of the answers wrong on the North American countries. Other than that, it was easy. I studied hard during advisory, so the countries were still fresh in my mind. That last minute study was a major help to me. The website was also a huge help to me. It took me eight tries, but I finally got 100% on both categories and under a minute. The most frustrating was definitely the north American countries. The countries down south are so small and close together I got them confused. For some reason I kept putting Costa Rica where Honduras should be. It was very frustrating at first but eventually on the day of the quiz I was able to tell the two apart. The central America countries were the easiest to identify. The countries were spaced out and much larger.

We got our tests back today. The class averaged around a 75%. We had notes to use and we still tied with the honors class who didn't have notes. I need to take better notes for my blog.

It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked
