How to use practice well
- Attempt the question before checking. A wrong answer you thought about teaches more than a right answer you guessed.
- Read the review for every choice, not just the one you picked.
- Work at Foundation and Developing until the reasoning feels automatic, then move to TABE Ready.
- Come back to a set a few days later. Recognizing an answer is not the same as being able to find it.
