Vocabulary midterm reflection

The only thing that I feel went well on this test was that I didn't just leave it blank and not do it.  What didn't go well was that I didn't know as much as I should have which made it way harder.  I think that the content that I know which is just a little bit will stick with me.  What I learned from this experience so I can improve for next time is that I need to study way more than what I did for this one.
