"Self-testing should be an integral part of your study sessions so that you have a clear understanding of what you do and don’t know. You don’t want your exam to be the first time you accurately assess how well you know the material."

Prompt: Think about your last exam. How accurately did you assess your understanding before the test? How might regular self-testing improve your exam preparation in the future?

The last exam I have taken, I knew enough information about it to feel confident. What I did not work on was learning more about the content I struggled with. Using regular self- testing can improve your exam preparation by showing you what you already know and what you need to work on. With information you already know you can spend less time with it and spend more time on questions you were stuck on / did not know.

On my last exam I made testing cards to see how much I knew and didn't know. This let me assess what I needed to go back over and any questions I needed to ask. Regular self-testing well-prepared me for my exam and made me more confident while testing.

For my last exam, I didn't know anything about what I was taking. I came straight in and just took it without any knowledge, explanations, or understanding of the exam.

I would ask questions and read over whats in front of me as many times as I need to get a better understanding, i would study more before just going straight into the exam

On my last exam I did not do so well, I thought I knew what I was learning but I didn’t, I knew nothing about it. I think if I started self-Testing I cannot only learn the subject for that moment, but I can know the topic and keep it with me forever to help me be more confident in myself and understanding the knowledge of the topic. Self- Testing is a strategy I cannot only use in school but use in life in general.

My last exam was in math on Thursday, I overestimated my understanding before i took my test & didn't do as well as I should've if i would've made sure I understood. I feel as though regular self-testing could help identify the knowledge gaps you may have & help you prepare for more effective preparation for any other exams.

The last exam I took was in my senior year of high school in my math class. I was exempt of all of my other classes. But in math I got lazy and barely got a B in the class. Which mean that you need to take the exam. When taking the exam I barely study for the second half. But I was confident in myself. Until the end when I had no clue what the last third of the test was even about.

I got a C :/
