Why is it that I struggle to submit assignments on time, yet perform well on tests?
I’ve observed that while I excel in standardized and other exams, I find it challenging to submit my assignments promptly. It’s frustrating because I know I understand the material!
Rating my classes because it’s 2:24 AM and I’m a little bored: Math: 2/10 – I get points deducted for the most ridiculous reasons. Science: 5.7/10 – The workload is manageable, but we have to annotate EVERY. SINGLE. PAGE. It’s painful to look at pages filled with random notes and highlights; it makes me want […]

It’s not uncommon to struggle with turning assignments in on time while still performing well on tests. There could be a few reasons for this:
Different Skill Sets: Tests often assess your ability to recall information and apply knowledge under timed conditions, which might be your strong suit. Assignments, on the other hand, may require a different type of engagement, such as time management, planning, or sustained focus over a longer period.
Motivation and Interest: You might find tests more stimulating or motivating compared to routine assignments. If assignments feel tedious or less relevant, it might be harder to prioritize them.
Workload and Time Management: If you’re juggling multiple commitments, it can be easy for assignments to slip through the cracks, even if you know you can perform well on tests.
Perfectionism: If you tend to strive for perfection in your assignments, it might lead to procrastination or avoidance, making it hard to submit work on time.
Procrastination: It’s also possible that you work better under pressure, which could lead to procrastination until the last minute.
It might be helpful to explore some strategies, like setting specific deadlines for yourself, breaking assignments into smaller tasks, or finding ways to make the assignment work feel more engaging. Working on your time management and finding motivation in your assignments could also help you balance both areas effectively.
