Key takeaways
- Classify each mistake: concept gap, misread question, calculation slip, or pure guess.
- For concept gaps, revisit the source and generate a fresh quiz on just that subtopic.
- For misreads, underline the keywords in the question stem before you choose an option.
- Re-attempt wrong questions a day later, not immediately - instant retries flatter your memory.
- Watch for repeating mistakes. The same error twice means the topic needs a dedicated session.
