Principal's Challenge

In my last post I told you how I achieved high standards in a maths and science test getting into a an extension program in my future high school. Now I will tell you about something else I aced. It is term 3's Principal Challenge. Every term the years 6 and 7 have principals challenge while the younger years a luckier and get year level challenge. Principals Challenge is a big test but the hook is instead of being tested by your teacher or having it on paper our principal actually comes and does it herself. In the test there are 20 multiplication questions, 20 mixed operation maths questions, 20 spelling words (we have a study sheet of 85 words to study with) and 10 general knowledge questions (we also get a study sheet for that as it is on a different topic every time). The aim in the first term is to get 100% or be in the top 20 ( principals challenge) or top 5 (year level challenge) in the second, third and forth term the aim is 100%, top 20 or top 20 most improved. Last term (term 3) I got a visit from one of the year 6-7 teachers. They had come to get me to change a letter in and answer I had accidentally spelt wrong in the general knowledge, instead of Tae Kwon Do I had put Kae Kwon Do but my teacher and our principal had agreed that it was close enough but they were going to get me to change it so they didn't get confused and mark it wrong. The only reason they had gotten me to do that was because had they not let me do that I would have only gotten 99% but they said I deserved 100% so they let me change it so I could get 100% and not be so annoyed at myself because of that stupid mistake. Either that or they wanted to see if I could keep up that standard for the next 5 principals challenges I will have to got through. So this time round I got 100% in the top 20 and I think I might get most improved. So good luck to me for this coming term!
