Practice review
What to do after a missed practice question
A missed question is not a verdict. It is a signal that tells you where to slow down and what to review next.
Pause before you move on
Do not immediately repeat the question until the answer feels familiar. First ask what made the choice difficult: the topic, a word in the stem, the choices, or the timing.
Find the reason, not just the answer
Read the explanation when one is available. Then compare the idea with your cleared notes, class material, or a reliable source. The goal is to understand the decision, not to memorize one letter.
Leave yourself a useful next step
Write a short note, flag the topic, or make one flashcard that captures the idea you want to return to. Keep it specific enough that tomorrow's study session can begin without guesswork.
Return after some space
Come back to the topic later and see whether you can explain the reasoning in your own words. If it still feels unclear, use that as a reason to revisit your course material or ask an instructor.
