How Did I Do On My IB Exams?

  Overall, I think that I did well on my exams. I had room to improve in some areas, and wish that I could have expanded in other areas of my work. For the first exam, I got the exact question that I answered in class, so it was a bonus. I already knew what scenes I wanted to do and how I wanted to stage them. I think I could have wrote some more detail about how I wanted to make the scene look, but I still justified everything that I staged. I think that made up for the little pieces I missed. I felt like my analysis was really strong, and I think that my staging was different. In the end, I felt okay about this exam.
    The second exam (poetry) time flew by. In the first exam, I felt like I timed myself well and I made time to write about details. In the second exam, I figured I would end with enough time to check my work. Instead, I looked up and 45 minutes had gone by and I just finished my first poet. So, I still had 45 minutes for the other poet. Even though I was rushed towards the end, I still felt like I analyzed the poems fairly well. There was some parts that I wished I could have clarified a little more, but I was crunched for time. However, in the exam I realized new things about the poem that I hadn't realized before.
      When going into the exams, I thought that I was more prepared for the first exam about the "Whale Rider." I felt as though I knew everything I could know for the book. However, after taking the exams, I found I had more to write about for the second exam on poetry. I wrote a lot more for the poetry then I did for the "Whale Rider." I am not sure why this happened, but all together I think I did okay.
