I was somewhat caught off guard by this test. I had a good sense of each of the concepts in our One-Dimensional Kinematics unit, but I lacked the experience in putting these concepts together as many of the problems did. In retrospect, I should have focused my studying on practicing these kinds of problems. The math aspect in particular was not what I expected. While I had no troubles plugging in variables into kinematic equations to solve basic problems, I lacked the ability to properly manipulate the equations to aid me in more complex ones. I attribute this to my intuitive sense of solving simple physics problems, so I was not prepared to rely so heavily on math. This test has definitely made me rethink how I will study for future assessments so hopefully I will be less surprised in the future.
