Both the midterms were fair and offered challenging questions that required some analytical thought. The only difficulty I faced was me. I did not take enough time to check over my answers, and as a result, I made a couple mistakes on the Excel questions that I should answered correctly. I guess another difficulty was the question about Iste. I do not remember going to advanced searches in class, and so it took me awhile to figure out exactly how to get there. I guess the questions could have been a little clearer, so that I could have known exactly how the questions should be answered. This may have been my own anxiety but the detail required for the Inspiration question was unclear to me.
The length of the test was easy to me. I thought the test would be longer and take more time. I feel that I am less precise on the computer, and so a longer test would make me feel like I have proven more of my skills. As well, some of the questions did not challenge the tester as much as it could have, such as the questions that only required short answers. These question required more memorization than thought.
