Reading lab post test

Scored a 80% on the pretest and 86% on the post -test. Some difference but not that great. Scored 80% in the main idea section compared to 20% on the pretest. Scored above 80% on all sections with a 100% on most except active reading (40%) and graphics and visual aids. For the active reading section, i think some of the questions were more critical thinking type of questions. The graphic and visual aids was awful. i question one of the answers and for the remaining 2, the graph was so bad it was hard to tell what was what. Anyway, I'm happy that graphs i'll be dealing with wouldn't be zigzag intertwining lines where you can't tell the difference between the two variables.

I'm happy i improved in the main idea section. The correct answer for my wrong question was the other answer i'd debated on so it's the case where i went with the wrong choice. I scored 100% on the supporting details which i find great. Besides the dictionary section which i also scored an 80% (stupid oversight), i got a 100% on all other sections.

I feel like the post test points out my strong areas and my weak area shows. I'll say the active reading is a weak area because it involves reasoning and critical thinking which i need to work on. Not sure how i'm going to work on that but i'm moving on to the intermediate reading course so we'll see how that works. I signed up for myreading lab on the 10th of november though i started the studying on the 14th.

While going from an 80 to an 86 doesn't look like much, i feel like myreading lab is worth it. I understood every passage i read in the post test, took a lot less time and skimmed a lot of the passages which may have accounted for my poor performance in the active reading section. I do see and feel and improvement in my comprehension skills, i'll say besides the active reading mistakes, i'll say i could've done better had it not been for that oversight in the dictionary section and that awful graph.

I'm hoping i improve a lot more with the intermemdiate course.
