Aha!

I took my ATS-W exam this past Saturday morning. I was very nervous although some of my fellow classmates have told me not to worry since they already took it and it wasn't too bad. Also a lot of my friends who happen to be teachers told me it's a lot of common sense questions and theoretical questions about teaching which I should be able to pass with a breeze. However I am a Nervous Nelly and it's part of my nature to always worry and be nervous before an exam. I didn't really study because I didn't know how to study but look over some sample questions from the site. There were 80 multiple choice questions and I told myself not to stay more than 3-4 minutes on a question. If it's taking longer to answer it I should put a star on it and go back or go with my first instinct. After I finished all 80 questions I was exhausted and not looking forward to the essay part of the exam. I took a deep breath and open up the essay section. I had a huge smile form on my face and I almost began to laugh out loud! I let out a big sigh of relief and said, "AHA!" in my mind. I was so happy to see the essay questions. It pertained to technology and how we would integrate and implement it into a lesson plan. I thought of our technology course and tech-pack right away! I took a minute to gather my thoughts and began writing. I am so grateful for our class and our previous tech-pack assignment because I finished my exam quickly and confidently. I had so much time left over to check over my work. I'm pretty sure I aced the essay portion of the exam thanks to our class! :)
