Vocab Test Reflection

I did absolutely terrible on the vocab exam. Yes, I say exam because it was huge. I don't mean to be rude but how can a project that has been in progress for over a month only be worth 50 more points than a vocab exam. I know vocab is important but shouldn't understanding the themes and romantic characteristics of Frankenstein be more important for our overall knowledge of English. I do. I think that the vocab test should have been 1 point per question or the layer project should be 200 points. Okay, now on to the analysis of the vocab exam. I thought it was easy when I took it. I studied the words for thirty minutes for three nights before the test and I thought that I was well prepared. It must have had lots of tricks because I felt that I knew the words, obviously, but I was extremely incorrect. I don't know if there were any tricks, but It felt like there were, and if there were tricks I think that that is not necessarily unfair, but very annoying. I believe that vocab exams should test the knowledge of the word, not someones ability to pickup on small tricks in the question. Coincidentally, I think that the SAT is complete BS. Imagine that!
