Term 1 Science Test

In my term 1 science test, i got 32/40, or an A1. however, most of my class also got an A1, and most of them got higher than me. That is saddening. I realised that I did not study the topic acids & bases, and therefore lost many marks on that topic, while those who got higher than me studied that topic, and as a result did better than me in this test. I thought that acids & bases would not be tested, and hence I did not study for them. I learnt that I should revise on all that I learnt in class, regardless of whether or not they would be tested in the test. I focused too much on the test and not on the learning itself.

I also realised that i am very careless in the test. Of all my mistakes during the test, most if not all of them were because i was careless during my test. when i saw them, I thought " why did i put that? i knew the answer yet i wrote something else". i need to be more careful durign my test and check my answers again and look out for errors in my test.
