Studying after taking Practice tests

by riggs.goodman Sat Jan 16, 2010 7:11 pm

All-

I know this has probably been asked before. I am currently doing the self study course and am on week 6. Since I did not feel comfortable with taking a practice test in the beginning, I just completed my first practice test. I might say, one of the most annoying tests I've taken. My results are Q: 47, V: 33, Total: 660.

My question is how should I use all the information given to me from the reports. Should I start studying all the topics that I struggled with? Some of those topics, like Geometry, we haven't even gotten to yet. Or should I just look over the results, note the topics I struggled with, and wait until the end of the 9 weeks to go back and review all the topics I struggled with.

Student suggestions would be helpful too. Thanks in advance.

You can start with this article:

But do NOT worry about things that haven't been covered yet in the course. Worry about the things that you've already covered first. :)
