Content is whenever students show they have knowledge based off North Carolina Standard Course of Study. One example that shows that I have exceeded North Carolina Standard was when I passed my Accuplacer Placement Test. Back in high school there was a requirement for everyone to take four part of the Accuplacer Placement Test. These four parts of the Accuplacer Placement Test included reading, sentence structure, math, and elementary algebra. Before someone can take college courses, they must pass the Accuplacer Placement Test. I was fortunate enough to pass the Accuplacer between my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school. There was a total of three aspects that helped me pass these tests. They were organization, focus, and memorization. Organization was one of the main aspects that helped me pass my Accuplacer. Since there were a total of four parts to the Accuplacer, I had to be organized. This meant that I had to know what I had to study for. In addition, I made sure that I also had an enough time to study everything. Looking back, I now know how important this was. I knew how easy it could have been to get …show more content…

During my Sophomore year of high school, I had to finish three out of the four parts of the Accuplacer in one sitting. They were reading, math, and elementary algebra. I made sure that I was focused in order to pass all of these three parts of the Accuplacer. In order to do this, I had to have been mentally prepared. I made sure I had a good breakfast and a good night's rest before I took the exam. By doing this, I was able to stay focused throughout all three parts of my Accuplacer Tests. As the years went by, I began to understand how useful this technique was. Whenever there was a big test ahead of me, I made sure I was well nourished and rested. Overall, this technique has helped me get to where I am today. In addition, I was able to successfully pass my

Not studying, not prepared, and horsing around was the downfall of my eighth grade year. Being able to take the Algebra 1 High School Assessment was a privilege to me when I was ahead of most of the students in middle school. I was egotistical and thought I had the test in the bag, so sure of myself but in reality I needed to prepare myself like every other student taking the test. Since I was in Algebra 1 my eighth grade year, I was able to take the Algebra 1 High School Assessment earlier than most students. But I started the year off all wrong, knowing that I was going to have the opportunity to take the test I should have set a goal to succeed in passing the test with the highest score even though in reality that might not

There was no doubt in my mind that I tried my hardest in the classes; I just did not have as much faith in myself when it came to the test day.

I finally was able to believe my hard work towards achieving a goal could actually be rewarded.
