The day we took The Tormenting Test... - Esther Y. 8A



Unfortunately, most of us entered the social studies class in great agony today. Most of us were dreading this moment, when we would finally take the social studies test. We all shook Mr. Armstrong's hand and took a seat next to the computers that had our numbers on it. Fortunately, Mr. Armstrong gave us an extra five minutes to do some last minutes cramming for the online test. Most of us were quizzing each other on possible subjects that we each thought might come up on the test. Finally, the dreadful moment came and we had to put away our notes and turn on our computers. We first went to this website (http://armstronghistory.edublogs.org/ ) from there we clicked on Quia class page which was a link to the website (http://www.quia.com/pages/armstronghistory.html). We finally typed in our user names and passwords and began to take the test. The questions ranged from true or false to essay questions and even to multiple choice. The test was over everything we learned, starting from the beginning of eighth grade, therefore there were many questions. It all ranged from Roger Williams to Puritans to the Plymouth Colony to the middle colonies. Unfortunately, most of us found a problem in the test, there were two questions that were repeated. For me, the test was very confusing, every time a new question popped up, there would always be two answers that seemed to fit the answer in my opinion. Some students even said, "The social studies test was so hard!" I agree with them, it was very confusing. Luckily, we didn't have any homework for today.
