I take tests at light speed. I dunno why, but for all my life, I've nearly always been the first one finished with exam/test/quiz. I suppose part of it is that I'm a quick reader, but that can't be all of it. I remember when I was in fifth grade and we were taking the Georgia elementary school equivalent of the OGTs, my teachers would be super worried because I would finish with another half hour to to complete the test. They scolded me for speeding through the test, and made me go back through them to check for mistakes. However, whenever I got my test results back, I finish in the top 10 to 15 percent of people to take the tests. Now, this blog isn't to brag, and besides, most of us in IB do score that high on tests - hence why we are in IB. However good my test scores may be, though, I still feel extremely self-conscience when I finish up to 15 minutes before the rest of the class, especially when the test was considering an extremely difficult writing exam. Actually, I usually only finish fast when I am taking multiple choice exams. When it comes to writing, I have to slow myself down to make sure that my handwriting is legible.
