When I was preparing for the exam, I was rather motivated as it was the 1st exam of the semester and I was hoping to ace it! I studied pretty hard for both subjects. For Biology, I tried answering all the questions that was posted on canvas and memorized them. For some questions, I didn’t even really understand the content 
Therefore, during the test, it was hard for me to answer some Biology questions as I couldn’t understand it. As for Chemistry, I studied the quizzes and the notes thoroughly. However, I was surprised to see that the Chemistry questions were rather different than what was given on the quizzes. Sadly, I found it quite a challenge too. So overall, I think I did really badly. Hope to do better in the next few exams! =(
