Be Prepared

The Ohio Graduation Test(OGT)that I am most nervous about taking is the history test. Overall, I am a good student. By that, I mean I pass my classes with fairly well grades. However, I struggle a little with history class. So far this year, I have always been border-line with my final grades in that class, barely passing with an A. I learn history lessons by copying notes given by the teacher, something that we do not do in class. Our teacher gives us reading assignments quite often which is unfortunate for me. I cannot read a history book for the life of me. I can read the assigned pages, but I cannot grasp any of the concepts. It is like the saying, "It goes through one ear and out the other." Another problem I have is that I find most of the lessons really boring. Thus,it is hard for me to focus in class. I am not that stressed about these state tests quite yet, but I know that I have to come up with a plan soon. A lot of my friends do really well with history, so I can ask them to help me understand the material that should be on the test. There are also many practice tests available. By taking these, I can get the idea of what I need to work on. The practice tests will also relieve some stress that I may have. However, since I still do well in school, it should not be too hard to pass the test.
