Q1 Grades Reflection

I was supposed to do a reflection about my grades in Q1, more specifically my grades on my science essay, test and lab. I got all 6/6 for all 3 projects.
I am really happy with my grades for these projects. Obviously, they couldn't be better at all, because they are the maximum possible grade. However, although the grade was perfect, the projects themselves weren't totally perfect.
My strengths in my essay were that I chose a difficult topic but still wrote a full essay on it. I also met the minimum length requirement, and my essay was clear and hopefully moderately easy to understand. However, a few things that I could work on include explaining the my topic of more clearly and maybe choosing more reliable sources than Wikipedia. I recently reread my essay and realized that my explanation of my topic didn't sound as good as when I wrote it.
If I were to rewrite the essay, I would give a little more background information and try to explain my topic better.
I also think that I did well on the lab. My strengths were that we had a good data table, and my partner and I followed the lab procedure very closely. Our weaknesses were that in our lab, we used two different plants in a part of the lab where we were supposed to compare two of the same plants, and the most likely skewed our results.
My test is a little harder to reflect back on because I haven't looked over it again much. A few things I did well tat I didn't rush and I took time to fully explain things where necessary. I was one of the later people to hand in m test. Also, I think that I studied well which helped me get a good grade. However, I could have maybe studies even more so I wouldn't have missed the 2-3 questions I did miss.
Overall, I am very happy with my grades, and even though I couldn't improve in numbers, there were a few ways that I could improve in real-life performance.
