Review the reasoning behind each answer
After a practice question, write down what it asked you to decide and which detail changed your choice. Read the rationale and explain in your own words why the strongest option fits the facts in the question.
Turn mistakes into a focused study list
Use three columns for the topic, what led to the mistake, and what to practice next. If several misses came from overlooking a time word such as first, practice identifying the task before reading the answer choices. If you keep missing one concept, review it before another question set.
Try it yourself
You missed two questions after overlooking the word “first.” What is one adjustment to try on your next practice set?
