How to Utilize Study Resources: Practice tests, especially those you have already taken, are valuable resources. Use them fully. When taking tests, categorize questions into three types:
- Type 1: Questions you answer instantly. These require only a quick glance at the answers.
- Type 2: Questions you are unsure about but answer correctly. This indicates weak understanding, so review the explanations in detail to reinforce your memory.
- Type 3: Questions you answer incorrectly or cannot answer. These are the key focus areas.
First, carefully study the answers and explanations to deepen your understanding. For example, if a test has 80 questions you answered incorrectly or could not answer, after completing several tests, revisit those questions when you have forgotten the answers. You may find that you now understand many of them. There may still be a few you don’t know, and after finishing all the tests, you might have 100-200 questions left. Focus repeatedly on these until you master them. This approach will give you confidence and effectively improve your learning outcomes.
