Learning from Mistakes

When you get your test back, go over the problems that you got wrong. When looking over these problems, focus mainly on WHY you missed the problem.
  • Mastery of information: You didn’t study properly and don’t know the material.
  • Thinking gap: You misunderstood what you were being asked.
  • Method of test taking: You made mistakes like reading too quickly and missing key words.
  • Reaction to situation: Test anxiety got the better of you.
