first test

Today in class we had our first test of Western Civilization. I feel like I did pretty well on the test. I feel like i did well because i did everything I needed to do. I studied the powerpoint that he made and the slides he told us to do. I also, studied my notes that I took in class yesterday so I knew what to study and what type of questions would be on the test. But there was still a few questions that I was not one hundred percent sure on but I feel like I still got them right from what I studied and what I learned in class. So I feel like i did very well on the first test in Western Civilization so I have a goos starting point for the rest of the school year in this class.
