Assessing your progress throughout the preparation process is essential for optimizing your study efforts. Consider starting with a pre-test to gauge your baseline knowledge and identify areas of strength and improvement. Regular practice exams during your study period can help track your progress and guide your focus areas. A final comprehensive exam closer to your exam date can serve as a review and help fine-tune your preparation for optimal performance and help you determine your exam readiness.
