No Computing test on last week of term


No Computing test on last week of term
The Issue
Our teacher is making us have a test on the last week of term. This is a bad idea, of course there is the selfish reason that we don't want a test on the last week of term, which I feel is fair. But there are many other reasons.
For one, we will do better if it is after the holidays as we wold have had longer to revise ,and it's not even like it would add that much extra work as we will have to do work over the summer anyway for our GCSE's. We would also do better as it would be cooler, so easier to concentrate and there wouldn't be the end of term buzz. It also doesn't hold any weight at this point because reports would be done, so people would have less motivation to do well.
We also wouldn't get our mark back until after the summer, as it is our last lesson of this subject. This means that by the time we look at the marks, we would have forgotten how it felt to take the test meaning that our reflection would not be as good as it could be.
Finally, we have just had our End of Year mocks, leaving us tired after the mass revision and exams. the last thing we need now is another test. No other Computing classes have tests at this time, so in the idea of keeping everyone in sync, this is a bad Idea.
the current date for the test is the the 7th of July, so we need to act before then.
