Make the review count

Objective responses are checked against the answer key. Use the answer review to understand mistakes and check your method. A practice result is not an official score or a prediction of your exam grade.

Choose one mistake to work on. Revisit the idea, explain it in your own words, then try the question again before looking at the answer.

Before you begin

  1. Check that you can hear the audio before beginning.
  2. Read the response instructions and listen for the information each question asks for.
  3. Review missed details after your attempt; use replay for learning when the selected mode allows it.
