After which point should you measure strengths and weaknesses?

• A. Before each practice test
• B. At the end of the course
• C. After each practice test
• D. During the exam week

Answer: (C)

Regular, timely assessment of what you know and what you don’t is essential for focused improvement. Measuring strengths and weaknesses after each practice test gives you immediate, concrete feedback on which topics or question types tripped you up, so you can adjust your study plan before the next round. This creates a fast feedback loop: you test, analyze results, target weak areas, and then practice more efficiently. If you measure before the practice test, you don’t yet have results to guide you, so you’d be guessing what to focus on. Waiting until the end of the course misses opportunities to improve while you still have time. Doing it during the exam week isn’t practical because there’s no room to adjust your preparation for the real test.
