“The study plan, with its practice tests, was used to see how skilled we are as students Further[more], we have the opportunity to retake the practice test more than twice, so if you went bad in one, you have the opportunity to improve on the next one. The explanation of the answers given while practicing was also very helpful, so that you clearly notice why your answer is fitting, or how you should not answer in a certain way. The model and overview features of each exercise helped me to preview and activate my schema so that I was able to get satisfactory results on my assignments. In addition, I liked the fact that when you reach good results in practicing and testing, you master it. It is a good incentive and a kind of commendation for students.”
