Today, I took my Italian final exam. Because it was the last big test of the semester, I studied a lot. I reviewed vocabulary, practiced grammar, and read my notes many times. I really wanted to do well, so I tried my best to prepare. However, when I saw the questions on the test, I got stuck right away. The format was different from the usual tests, and the problems were harder than I expected. I felt nervous, but I told myself to stay calm. Somehow, I managed to answer all the questions, even though I wasn’t sure about some of them. A few minutes before the test ended, I changed several of my answers. I thought those answers might be wrong, so I tried to fix them. After the exam, my classmates and I checked our answers together. I was shocked because all the answers I changed were originally correct. Changing them made them wrong. When I realized that, I felt extremely frustrated, and I cried. I worked so hard, but my own decisions made my score worse. The test hasn’t been returned yet, but I already feel stressed and sad. I keep thinking about the mistakes I made, and it hurts. Even though I feel terrible now, I hope I can learn something from this experience. Next time, I won’t change my answers unless I am completely sure. I really hope the result won’t be too bad.
