How useful effective are online self-assessment tests

   In social psychology, self-assessment is the process of looking at oneself in order to assess aspects that are important to one's identity. It is one of the motives that drive self-evaluation, along with self-verification and self-enhancement. Sedikides suggests that the self-assessment motive will prompt people to seek information to confirm their uncertain self-concept rather than their certain self-concept and at the same time people use self-assessment to enhance their certainty of their own self-knowledge.

My test taking strategies

   There is no any doubt, everyone feels stress before en examination. However, I have tupical strategy like this kind of situation.  My first and main strategy is not to feel nervous during the exam. Getting  nervous is my biggest enemy while taking a test because once I do I forget what I learned and my brain stops functioning, I even forget the simplest information. The second is to come early and relax, I always do my best to come early to take a seat and go over everything and just relax.

The thing needs to be highlighted here is that wherever you study, if you try yourself to achieve any goals  you can do it.

Firstly, we enhanced our vocabulary ranges cos we faced up a lot of unknown words, sayings, idioms and phrases while translating the cartoon. And we got to know how to use words whether it is informal or formal.   Furthermore, it was so amazing and enjoyable to dub. It is great chance to experience to be an actor or actress. Plus, the cartooon we chose was original Uzbek cartoon called " White young camel" in uzbek   ''Oq bo'taloq''.     All in all, we have successfully done it. And we hope that our project will be marked well.
